How the Rockin JW Saddlery Began

As a boy, Jerry White began his life as a cowboy in Oklahoma at the young age of thirteen. Working on ranches, rodeos and breaking horses is how he grew up. His cowboying skills have taken him all over Oklahoma and Texas.

He began working with leather in grade school and soon people saw the talent in his handcrafted projects. Jerry has become skilled at the art of leather crafting from years of practice and learning from the well known saddle maker, Don Atkinson.

From his many hours spent in the saddle during his ranching experience and his innate passion for horses, Jerry knows what it takes to make an excellent saddle. Each JW saddle is uniquely hand crafted and tooled by Jerry himself, using only the finest quality materials. Jerry is known for his excellent quality and workmanship.

As any horseman knows, the tree is the heart of the saddle. Jerry uses Bowden trees or specific trees that individual customers purchase for their customized saddles. All JW saddles are made of top quality leather. You will not find a finer saddle anywhere.
