I'm interested in a reproduction 1912 UP saddle. Are there any U.S. based makers? If not are there any in the UK, Canada, Australia, etc.? The reason I'm looking for a repro is I want a riding saddle not a historical piece.
Any information would be appreciated.
1912 UP Saddle
Hello Wkambic,
I have a Swivel Tree 1912 UP that I had rebuilt by a Saddler in Melbourne - So it's worth as a collectors item is nout.
I'd be interested in selling it if you are still looking.
Cheers,
Hugh
PS. PM me and I will give you an email contact.

I use UP saddles all the time for my horses, the ones I have are only dated around 1990ish so not that old. I do also have a brand new 1902 that has never been on a horse but I am keeping it in reserve as I have no reason to use it yet. I did for a time use a very old specimen that I had rebuilt and it was fine but I got offered money for it and it sold. There are plenty around if you look for them, just watch the cost of rebuilding them, it cost me around £180 to replace felts and reweb one. Girths I have had made, copying a couple of original ones I have that are not useable.
