Welcome to Westernaire World!

Many riders visiting the Ansür Saddle booth at the various horse-oriented trade shows such Equine Affaire, Horse Expos, and many others, asked if Ansür Saddlery would ever build a western treeless saddle? That question came up so often that Carole and Don Weidner, owners of Ansür Saddlery decided to start researching the project. It was quite the undertaking and much research and development went in to what is now know as the "Westernaire". Since this was a new product for riders who don't ride English style saddles, a new company, Northwestern Saddlery, was formed to produce Westernaires and related saddlery.

These innovative saddles not only look like beautiful western style saddles, but are fully functional as a western saddle for all riding with the exception of roping. Since the saddles are treeless, the structure, having no rigidity that treed saddles have just won't stand up to flipping cows!

It's not only the reiners, the barrel racers and the cutting horses that appreciate a saddle that flexes and allow them to bend and move their shoulders in a non-restricted way, the trail horse and pleasure ride horses also feel the comfort and enjoy the protection of the built-in trauma layer. The trauma layer works for both horse and rider by absorbing shock. These saddles allow our horses to feel good about being ridden all day in a saddle!

If anyone is reading this blog and already has a Westernaire, you are welcome to talk about your riding experience with yours horses in their Westernaires.
Since these saddles are not restrictive like a treed saddle, it will fit any shape or size horse  from the small short backed breeds like Arabians to the really large draft breeds like Clydesdales and Shires.The Westernaire comes with a huge assortment of options to perfectly fit your needs, whims and heart's desires from the plain and simple to the bling of a fancy show saddle. First class carving is available in many styles as well as custom art for that special personalization.
