You could write novels about the saddles crafted by the King family, owners of King’s Saddlery and Museum in Sheridan, Wyoming. "The craftsmanship is what keeps you on top. Not that we’re on the absolute top. But we think we’re okay," says second-generation owner Bruce King, with great modesty. The King family saddlery legacy began with Don King in 1946. Don coined the Sheridan flower style of leather carving, a detailed and intricate art that helped put King’s Saddlery on the map. Today, the Sheridan style has influenced leather workers all over the world. In the late '60s, ropes were added to the Kings' repertoire, and the family became world-renowned for those, too. With the addition of grandson Ryan King, King's Saddlery still remains a family owned and operated business so the importance of quality and authenticity continues to be their legacy.
