Meet The Saddlemaker
DAN HIGH is an extremely skilled & experienced saddle maker professional. At 1-3 saddles per week,
he's made over 2,000 saddles
during his career...& counting!
Raised in Monroe, Utah, Dan began working on saddles along side his father in 1987. After building saddles on the side for years, he and his wife, Ashley, opened their own saddle shop in Monroe, Utah called High Quality Saddles in 2008.
In November 2021, they moved their shop & family to Newell, South Dakota to help Dan's heart health.
As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints they are very religiously active. The High's love to ride, hunt, fish, they breed Quarter Horses, farm alfalfa, & are active in sports. Dan coaches their son's middle school basketball team. They have 4 awesome kids & two grandsons.
From cutting & roping, to trail & colt training saddles, Dan makes any style of saddle needed by his customers, with any tooling, at very reasonable and competitive prices. High Quality Saddles keep their prices low so the average rider out there can afford an $8,000 saddle without spending a fortune.
Dan designs & builds one-of-a-kind tack and has extensive skill in saddle & tack repair.
He builds excellent-quality, custom tack, including (but not limited to) chaps, gun scabbards, knife cases, cantle bags, breast collars, saddlebags, pouches, cell phone cases, knife scabbards, belts, and just about anything else needed out of leather.
