In the 1800s, the “golden age” of ranching in California brought recognition throughout the horse world of the renowned California stock horse. Pedrini’s anniversary saddle belongs to that era. From its period-perfect floral carving to the silver thread embroidered, bear-hide trimmed saddlebags and sterling silver cantle and horn bindings, every detail of construction and embellishment has been carefully considered and executed. It is a tour de force of the saddler’s art, reminding us of those glory days.

The saddle includes period-style sterling conchas by Scott Hardy, sterling silver bindings by Chuck Stormes, saddletree and rings by Janneman Pienaar and a handmade horsehair cinch by Helen Dougal.

Spring Creek, Nevada

Jean-Pierre “Pedro” Pedrini was born in France in 1952. He discovered an interest in Western riding and leather craft as a youth, which inspired several trips to the United States to learn saddlemaking skills. In 1984, he came to stay. He established the Pedrini Saddle Company in 1990, became a United States citizen in 1992 and a TCAA member in 2007. Named 2008 Saddlemaker of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists, Pedrini and his son, Tony, reside in Spring Creek, Nevada.
