Kent Frecker
I started in the saddle business in Oct. 1981, at Smith & Edwards Co., and I have been self-employed since April of 1990.
I worked with Dale Harwood making the "Ray Hunt" saddles for a year.
Dale has made probably the greatest influence in my saddle making, and I am grateful for his help.
Others who have influenced my work are Bob Ray and Randy Hansen.
It has been my honor to have made several saddles for Buck & Mary Brannaman, Shayne & JoAnn Jackson, Ray & Carolyn Hunt, Curt & Tammy Pate,
Roland & Robin Moore, Tom & Jillie Selleck, and many more. I have sent saddles all across the United States Alaska to Hawaii, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, England, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, Czech Republic, and Costa Rica.

David Rigby
Dave has worked with me since 1996 and makes a very good saddle. He also has made
saddles for Buck Brannaman, Curt Pate, Kip Fladland, and many other great horsemen. Dave grew up on a ranch in Monteview, Idaho, where he learned to ride, rope, and work hard. He is now married to Martha, and together they have a cute little boy, Spencer. He is dedicated to the art of saddlemaking,
and is one of the nicest and most honest person you'll ever meet.

Tyler Frecker
Tyler is Kent's son. He has been working with leather most of his life making chaps, belts, saddle bags, and bucking rolls. He is more dedicated to making saddles than before and is doing a good job. He is working here full time to support his wife, Anna, and sons, Andrew and Eli.

Pam Frecker
Meet the best book keeper in the world, my wife. She's beautiful as well. We have been married more than 30 years. She has been a great wife and has put up with a lot getting this saddle shop to run smoothly (we are still working on that). Pam has made chaps, shoeing aprons, cantle bags, and more over the years to help out. We have raised four kids together and they have turned out to be great adults.

Levi Johnson
We are excited to have Levi join us. Levi grew up in Huntsville, Utah. Huntsville is a small town in Northern Utah. His family and Kent's family have been friends for many years. His dad, Steve, is a terrific artist and has a great way of working with horses. Levi also has this natural ability to work with horses and shows great potential in the leather art. He is eager to learn, and yes, he's single.

Karsten Frecker
Karsten is Kent's youngest son. He has been working in his dad's shop for years making headstalls, strap goods, saddle bags, and repairs. He is now apprenticing with his dad making saddles, and doing a great job.

Each custom saddle is stamped with the saddle maker's name on it. We take pride in our work and put our name on it to prove it.
