Ryan Cope makes custom saddles using his cowboy background to help you and your horse.

Cope Saddlery is a family owned business. Our mission is to provide custom saddles tack and blankets that exceed our customers expectations at reasonable prices.

After years of working on large ranches through out the west and building saddles part-time, Ryan has built Cope Saddlery into the full-time business that it is today and makes custom saddles and tack that meets the needs of a working cowboy or the pleasure rider.

His wife, Lisa Cope has a loom in the shop. Lisa weaves saddle blankets that are made to last in custom colors and sizes.

R.C., our young cowboy in the photo to the right, has his place in the saddle shop.
