Hundred Oaks, Inc.

Modern Western Sidesaddles are much in demand for showing.     They are often ornate saddles, and they are generally larger overall than antique western sidesaddles.     You can pay  thousands of dollars for a western sidesaddle on a tree that we consider less than the best.     We urge you to  consider our Steeles, built on the strongest sidesaddle trees to be found.     Steeles offer premium comfort too.   Our leatherwork is done by master saddler Pete Harry, a well-known independent saddler.

Be aware that the modern rider usually requires a longer tree than her grandmother did.    People and horses have both gotten taller and stronger than 100 or even 50 years ago.     Steeles are built for the modern rider and horse.

You can add or leave off options on your Steele western.   This one with basic border tooling, purse and extra silver is priced at $2295.   The basic western (below) with minimal silver and border tooling, no purse is priced at $1700.   Shipping cost is extra.

The Steele Deluxe Western above has the special Steele movable horns, full tooling, purse and silver package.    You can choose your seat colors.      $2800.00 plus shipping

This standard tree light oil Steele is much like the Deluxe Western, but it has fixed horns.

$2700 plus shipping

ABOUT STEELE SIDESADDLES:

In 1982 Wayne Steele's father Jack contacted Marti about building a modern sidesaddle.     Jack produced a single tree (which we still have on display in our shop) but it didn't fit our needs.    

About that time, Wayne came home to TN, and he promptly took up the family tree making business.     He started work on his own design for a sidesaddle, which he introduced at a SouthEast Aside clinic in Raleigh, NC in August 1983.       The design immediately took off, and became famous in the sidesaddle community.   Hundred Oaks was made the distributor.

While independent saddlers' have, over the years built other saddles on the Steele tree,  only saddles made under the Hundred Oaks label are true to Wayne's original design.     We maintain the quality of leather and hardware rigorously, and the saddles are built by one of the original Steele saddlemakers.

At present 3 tree sizes are offered:   The standard wide bar original tree, a narrower tree for more refined horses, and a draft tree.

Buy the original, from the original sellers.     We love our Steeles!

Seat sizes are:   20", 21" and 22"

All Steele sidesaddles are made entirely in the USA, of US and Canadian leather.    They are assembled in Kentucky, and the trees come from Tennessee.
