MADE IN THE USA - We are often asked why Chattanooga is a hotbed for saddle making. Here is the short story.

Chattanooga is a river town. Back in the day, hides, sides and many other materials made their way up and down the rivers during regular trade. Chattanooga's river location combined, with the railroads made the city perfect for tanneries and the industries that were associated with leather. As a jumping off point for people heading west, saddle makers flocked to the city to provide saddles for them.

Chattanooga has a fine history of saddle making in and around the area. American Saddlery and Big Horn are proud to be part of this long and storied past.

So, when you think of Rock City, The Choo Choo, Ruby Falls, The Tennessee Aquarium, Civil War Battlefields, Lookouts AA Baseball, music, the Appalachian Mountains and of course Lookout Mountain... you can add saddle making to the list of things that represent the Scenic City.

Our saddles are proudly made in the USA.
