"On a visit to one of the 2011 ANH courses in Esk, Peter & Thip Brophy and I sat down in Ken & Kathy's green shed (dining hall) for what seemed like a couple of hours going over every intricate detail of what I wanted in my new custom saddle. Peter was so helpful in explaining how everything fitted together. Using great photographs and drawings, he showed me the many options I could have regarding the overall design to suit my body shape, as well as all of the amazing leather stamping patterns. No stone was left unturned! Peter & Thip even drove for several hours to my farm on the Darling Downs to fit the tree to my horses before the saddle was built to ensure it was the perfect fit! You can see Peter's masterpiece in the Old Timer Saddles section (fourth photo). The attention to detail is outstanding. I doubt there would be many other saddler makers in Australia who have this level of craftsmanship. I love this saddle. My horses feel so comfortable when we ride together. They are more uphill and their paces feel relaxed. Peter & Thip also made me a matching bridle, breastplate, and saddle bags. You can view the bridle in the Tack section (second photo). I feel very privileged to ride in such a gorgeous saddle. Thank you to Peter & Thip for all of their amazing work. They are true professionals!"

"I bought my wonderful saddle from Peter two years ago. Poor thing gets used almost everyday, in all weathers (thats saying something here in Scotland) and I love it more every time I use it. I couldn't possibly buy any other kind of saddle now. I am totally spoilt! I trained in classical riding before I moved over into horsemanship so I am pretty picky as to how a saddle positions its rider.
I can honestly say that wether I am using my saddle for the first time on a baby horse,schooling my older horse or flying across the hills I wouldn't swap my Brophy saddle for anything else I have ever ridden in. Even ordering and buying over long distance was easy!"

"I have an awesome wade saddle made by Pete Brophy. It was custom made to fit me and my horse and everyone who has ever ridden in it has said what a great saddle it is. Not only does it look AMAZING but it is a great fit on all different shapes and sizes of horse .We rope and ride and Pete's gear is the best !"

"I'm Dan from Dan Baker Custom Saddles. I have been making sadddles now for 23 years with around 600 saddles made. I have used many tree makers over the years and have found Pete's to be the best. He has a great range and the fit is second to none. I recommend them to any saddle maker. I think with Pete also being a saddle maker he knows what we need and makes his trees very easy to build on."

"I've got 2, ( a swinging fender stocky and the wade) excellent saddles. The stock is on the Symetry tree and the wade on the"new mould" which is carbon fibre re-inforced. Both sit me just where I want to be, great seats and good pockets to hang my legs spot on, as well the bars are open enough to allow the horses shoulders to move freely with out creating hot spots.... Very nicely finished off as well... If you want a custom saddle - talk to Pete!"
Belinda
"A brilliant saddle! Peter's work is of the highest quality and eye to detail is amazing. The difference the saddle has made to my horses is beyond words. The saddle fits them perfectly, their able to move freely and are happy horses in Peter's saddle! Thank you again Peter!"
