Welcome to Billings Saddlery, I’m Carson Billings, saddler and leather artisan based in Silver City, New Mexico.

Along with being a saddle maker, I am also a 7th generation cattle rancher near Silver City. This adds to my understanding of comfort, durability and functionality needed for both horse and rider.
