HC Leatherwork

Text with elegant cursive font that reads 'Repairs, Cleaning, Dyeing & More'

When I'm not in the thick of show season, you can find me in my saddle shop cleaning saddles, dyeing tack, restoring leather, and designing one-of-a-kind pieces for awards, promotions, and sales. All of my work is cut, tooled, dyed, and built by hand, ensuring a truly unique piece that's built to last every time.

Before and after images of leather saddle cleaning and dyeing. The left side shows a well-maintained brown leather saddle, while the right side shows a black saddle after leatherwork and dyeing. The background features a wood panel and a decorative textile underneath the saddle. The image promotes saddle and tack cleaning, dyeing, repair, and custom leatherwork services.

I started the equestrian related part of my leather working journey in 2018 through an internship at a local saddle shop. There, I learned the fundamentals of saddle & tack repair, restoration/cleaning, and building. In 2021, I officially left my internship days behind and went into business myself! I especially love to create custom tack for riders that tells a story or highlights their favorite colors and patterns.

Leatherwork has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, it's something I grew up doing with my family. I have my great grandmother, Wilma, to thank for sparking my interest and giving me a chance to create through leatherwork when I was young. Even though she has long left this earth, I still use her tools in my shop to this day and even have a few of her pieces hanging on my wall.
