Meet our Master Saddler

 

Born and bred in northern England, Michael Dainton is one of only a handful of master saddlers in the United States who is recognized by the Society of Master Saddlers, UK.

 

Michael's career as a master saddler spans several decades and includes work for the English Royal Family. These days he can be found at Saddlers Row working on everything from state-of-the-art dressage bridles to 150-year-old sidesaddles using hand tools even older than that.

 

"They just don't make tools like that anymore," he says.

 

Michael has been the subject of media attention since his arrival in the U.S. and has written articles for publications such as Practical Horseman.  Despite demand for his expertise, he along with his apprentice, Alice Corcoran, offer one-on-one consultations and promise prompt turnaround time.
