Elite Custom Saddles Returns to Owner & Launches New Award Line, Triple 7 Saddlery

Elite Custom Saddles proudly enters a new chapter under the shared ownership of Jon Carpenter and Harry Crouse. It is a return to its roots, driven by tradition, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for legacy. Together they are committed to building saddles that carry more than riders. They carry legends.

Originally established in 2009, Jon Carpenter took ownership in 2013 and continued
building a family business. Elite Custom Saddles earned its reputation by crafting
performance-grade saddles for riders who expect excellence. After four years under a corporate group, the brand has now been returned to original ownership and is under the shared leadership of Jon Carpenter and Harry Crouse. Elite Custom Saddles is no longer affiliated with the former organization, and no individual or entity from that company represents Elite Custom Saddles in any capacity.

“This brand started with family and continues with family,” said Jon Carpenter, Owner of Elite Custom Saddles. “We build together, we hold each other up, and we show up for one another every single day. This is more than leather products. It is grit. It is hard work. It is a craft and tradition passed down through generations. Every saddle we make doesn’t just hold a rider. It holds a story. And we are honored to be part of that story, not just for today, but for generations to come.”

As part of its return, Elite Custom Saddles is also excited to announce the launch of
Triple 7 Saddlery, a new award line focused on award saddles for events, associations, and rodeos. With the same level of craftsmanship and integrity, Triple 7 Saddlery is designed to serve organizations that want to celebrate champions with saddles that are built to honor and built to last.

This next chapter also brings back familiar faces, trusted hands, and the original vision that built a loyal customer base throughout the western world. 
With ownership restored to Jon Carpenter and shared with Harry Crouse, Elite Custom Saddles is more excited than ever to build not only premium saddles, but also meaningful relationships with riders, ranchers, and rodeo families across the country.
