In 1972, Sharon designed the first endurance trail saddle to be put into mass production, thus starting an international business that continues to this date.  Her original interest in saddle production was directed towards endurance; however, as riders from other disciplines recognized the importance of correct fit, her business has expanded dramatically to include western style saddles.   To read more about her extensive background with horses, consult: http://www.sharonsaaresaddles.com/aboutsharon.htm
