Local Saddle Makers
 

Does anyone have any recommendations on a local (southwest/south central la) Custom saddle maker? My wife and I along with her whole family have saddles made by Mr. Ibra Miller from Pecan Island. Her saddle was handed down from her great Grandfather and is the first saddle Mr. Ibra covered. Mine is the last one he made. She has decided to retire hers but is very particular on the style that she wants to replace it with.
She wants what seems to be called a bear trap tree. It looks to be a less common saddle tree but everyone we work with has one made this way by Mr. Ibra. My question is; do any of you know a quality saddle maker who won't break the bank too bad that is somewhat local that can make one with this type tree?
Thanks for any info in advance I have included some pictures to show what they look like. Attachment 93433Attachment 93434Attachment 93435Attachment 93436

Try Marceaux Saddlery in the Lebleu Settlement area. His name is Reese, 337-513-8803. He is on Facebook, look up Marceaux Saddlery.

This guy a a old friend.

I doubt Robert will be able to do something like this but I could be wrong. He really specializes in roping saddles unless he has expanded. Ken's custom saddles in Baton Rouge was very good too but again he did roping saddles. With the connections those 2 guys have they might be able to find the tree you're looking for.

Nice leather but horses are nuts.

Mr Maurice is a great leather worker. He does beautiful work. Highly recommended.

Agreed, he's making me a duck lanyard right now. I accidentally left the last one he made me in the duck blind overnight. Needless to say the rats like his work also, they shredded that thing to pieces.
