HANDMADE CRAFTSMANSHIP
Our dedicated saddle making artisans make every single one of our MMCO brand saddles completely custom, completely by hand, completely to YOUR specifications. Every stitch, every punch, every cut, every carve. No shortcuts, cookie-cutter machine tooling, no excuses. You’re getting more than a fine mule saddle. You’re getting a legacy of comfort, quality and craftsmanship you’ll be proud to ride. You’re getting your LAST mule saddle.
MMCO has desgned a way to give everyone what they needed - GREAT FIT for the mules (including the occasional horse or donkey) and COMFORT, SAFETY
In 2015, we realized that being able to source artisan-made, perfectly fitting tack to fit both our mules AND their riders was the next logical step to our mission. Too often, we were hearing our customers say that everything was perfect between them and their mule… except their saddle. And that’s actually what goes between them and their mule!
TREE SHAPE
We have a proprietary tree that fits every mule we’ve tried it on, as well as most horses as well! This special tree is seated so well on a mount’s back, it reduces saddle roll when riders mount all on its own - some people have accidentally mounted without tightening their girth all the way, and not noticed! It also spreads the weight of the rider comfortably across the load-bearing portions of the mount’s back, without interfering with the spine. It even works for short-backed mules and horses, too!
RIGGING
Our saddles are rigged front and back, almost in an old-fashioned “Center-Fire” style… but not quite. We’re not sure what modern riders would call it, but it sure does the trick! This type of rigging combined with our unique tree shape means you have a saddle that stays put on your mount, giving it less chance to slide forward or back, AND reducing side-to-side saddle roll to give you more “hang time” when you mount. This is far more comfortable for your mule or horse, and a lot safer for the rider!
