Stopped at this cool place a couple weeks ago. We didn't even know it was there but some friends told us about it. We were blown away when we walked in. This "Mom and pop" saddle and tack shop had so much to offer. It's far better than the place in Scottsdale, Leslie's Tack Solutions. If you are on the west side of Phoenix or even in Tucson you will want to look here and support them so they stay in business.
When we walked in Chico (the owner) greeted us with a big hello which was nice because the tack store in Scottsdale, Leslie's, didn't even acknowledge us in the least. Chico showed us around the store, explained saddles to us. Had us sit in a few, and his knowledge was deep. He also said that you can trailer your horses in and try saddles on them for the perfect fit! Wow! NICE! They carry a large line of the Circle Y saddles (one of our favs) they have the Cordura saddles as well as a bunch of new and used. They also board horses. Great place to consign as well.
Please give this local shop a visit. They really do deserve your business.
