About This Saddle
Donn Leson Saddles of Grants Pass, Oregon represents some of the finest custom saddle work to come out of the Pacific Northwest. Serial number TVB #386 is a testament to that legacy — every inch of this saddle has been hand-tooled with a striking combination of basketweave and deep floral carving, producing a rich dark-chocolate character that only comes from quality leather properly worked and aged. The maker badge stamped inside the gullet is a collector's detail that separates a Donn Leson from production saddles.
The 16" dark chocolate smooth leather seat sits atop impeccably tooled jockeys, with the basketweave pattern covering the fenders and horn while floral scrollwork fills the skirts and cantle. Sterling silver conchos and rear dee rings complete the package cleanly — no excess, just the right hardware in the right places. The saddle presents in excellent pre-owned condition with honest, even wear throughout.
Donn Leson saddles are increasingly sought by collectors and serious competitors who appreciate American custom saddle-making at its best. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a numbered piece at $6,495 — well under what a comparable custom build would cost today. Shipping available; contact David Solum for a quote to your location.
