Custom Handmade Saddle BlanketsLinda Haydenlives high above the Central San Joaquin Valley of California in the foothills of the Sierra. She and her husband, Joel, are cattle ranchers on the South Fork of the Kaweah River near the small community of Three Rivers, gateway to Sequoia National Park. It is here in this beautiful area that Linda collects the natural materials she uses to dye her handspun wool and create her all natural saddle blankets. Linda grew up in the Salinas Valley of California where she was greatly influenced by some of the best horsemen in California. Her interest and love of traditional horse gear started at an early age and with it came her desire to create saddle blankets similar to those of the Navajo Indian. She has been weaving for 36 years and this desire to weave the traditional wool saddle blankets has taken her to studies in Colorado and New Mexico where she concentrated on the Navajo and Rio Grande methods of weaving.
Jeff Hanson was raised on the big outfits of the Great Basin and buckarooed throughout several western states. He learned to work leather and rawhide from his father, a lifelong buckaroo. Early in his career, Jeff apprenticed under master saddlemaker Eddie Brooks in Elko, Nevada.

Buckaroo Hats:
Classical Vaquero, Buckaroo, Nevada and Elko hats…..Such stylized hat tend to have flat brims with slightly higher brim on the rear. It also tend to have an oval ring on the top of the crown. The attractive style are the favorite of High Desert Buckaroos and Vaqueros found on horses and cattle ranches in Nevada, Southern Idaho, Oregon and California. Hat makers these days, big or small, use machines to make hats. All of our hats are built by hands and hand sewn without machines. All of our tools are over 100 years old including our conformateur and formillion, a tool used to measure one’s head shape and to form precise head shaped hat. We only use highest quality beaver felts for all of our hats. No exceptions. When you order a hat from us you are getting the very best simply because we abide by the original craftsman values. If you are tired or fed up with “machine-made hats” you’ve come to the right place. Request for your measurement and receive estimate for your customized hat and you won’t be disappointed. That’s our pledge.~ Denio (Reg. ABCA) & Berry Here is another website: yourhat.com

I am a cowboy! ….. well at heart anymore I guess.
I’m originally from Jiggs, Nevada where I grew up cowboying with my dad. My wife and kids now live in Newcastle, UT.
I’m I was a rodeo cowboy for a while, then I lost a finger and that dream went down the toilet. Then a construction cowboy where I even shaped my hard hat to look more waspy. After that I went to shoeing horses. Then went to shoeing horses for about 10 years.
When I was young, my dad was a cowboy and a damn good one, in my opinion. He also became a pretty famous cowboy poet. We built our first hats together at a workshop in Elko, Nevada. Of course, he made his famous Waddie Mitchell hat, while I pondered and pondered on what I should make for myself. He told me to make a hat that I would be proud to wear no matter what it looked like.
After years of practice and studying hats and their owners I understand what makes a good hat maker… it’s understanding that a hat doesn’t only fit the circumference of the head but also the personality of the owner.

I build hats. Some for cowboys and some for cowboys at heart.
http://www.northvalleyhatco.com For Quality That Makes The Difference! “I make each hat as if it is the most important hat that I will ever make because it truly is. The quality of my work and satisfaction of every customer are most important and rewarding to me.” Master Hatter, Rodney Allison. Home of the original Buckaroo-T hat.

Back in 1989, California livestock dealers Ellington Peek and John Rodgers were looking for a way to help Western ranchers present their cattle to a national marketplace. Taking advantage of available broadcast technology, these two reputation cattlemen formed Western Video Market, a satellite auction service which now sells nearly half a million cattle from 16 Western states each year. Check out their website!
