David Stackhouse and Lesley Ellis build custom saddles from scratch at their workshop in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Each saddle is individually fitted to both the horse and rider for optimum fit. The finest of leathers are used to make beautiful saddles for dressage, jumping, and eventing. Quality, comfort, and fit are all taken into consideration during construction with the aim of perfect balance.
“We are very thankful for our longstanding partnership with D.G. Stackhouse & Ellis. Each Stackhouse saddle is a true work of art that will stand the test of time. David and Lesley are masters of their trade and create a beautiful product. Make sure and visit them at the AEC this fall and sit in some saddles,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk.
