Burns Saddlery is HERE!!!

We are extremely honored and thrilled to present Burns Saddles to our valued customers here at NRS. Burns Saddlery, a family-owned and operated Saddle Shop based in Utah, boasts an impressive history spanning over 145 years. Miles Lamonie Burns founded the establishment in 1876, and since then, the Burns family has diligently carried on the tradition through multiple generations.

At Burns, the craftsmanship of exquisite saddles is a testament to their commitment to preserving the Western legacy. Each saddle is meticulously handcrafted, destined to become a cherished heirloom for both horses and riders. Only the finest premium grade one leather, sourced exclusively from steer hides, is utilized in their creations. This deliberate choice ensures durability and strength, as heifer hides, although soft and pliable, tend to stretch and give over time. Furthermore, Burns exclusively uses grade one wool skins that possess impeccable quality, devoid of any blemishes, weeps, or tears, guaranteeing their longevity. The creation process is entirely manual, with skilled hands skiving the seats, tooling the leather, and hand-stitching on every saddle. Notably, the trees within a Burns are no ordinary trees; each one is hand-selected and designed by the dedicated Burns team. Passion is the driving force behind Burns Saddles, as they pour their hearts into each creation. Likewise, here at NRS, we share this passion for delivering high-quality cowboy products to our customers. You can explore our range of in-stock, ready-to-ship Burns Saddles on NRSworld.com, or visit our Decatur store location to experience their exceptional craftsmanship firsthand.
