Cimarron Roper
Full floral tooling on premium American skirting leather. Built for hard days and long rides.
Hand-tooled leather. Time-honored patterns. A saddle built to fit you, your horse and the miles you have ahead. Small-batch craftsmanship from Greensboro, North Carolina.
El Rey de las Monturas Oficial began in a small barn behind our family home in Greensboro, North Carolina. Founded by Mary Glen Spinks, our workshop grew out of a lifelong love for horses and the honest craft of the American west. Every saddle that leaves our doors is built by hand — cut, tooled, stitched and finished by artisans who care about the horse as much as the rider.
We do not mass-produce anything. Each order begins with a conversation, a fitting, and a promise that your saddle will still be riding well decades from now.

A curated selection from our current bench — each one hand-built to order in our North Carolina workshop.

Full floral tooling on premium American skirting leather. Built for hard days and long rides.

Light, secure and fast. A close-contact seat balanced for tight turns and confident finishes.

Deep black leather with hand-set sterling conchos. A show saddle that turns every arena head.
Only vegetable-tanned Hermann Oak skirting leather. It ages beautifully and lasts a lifetime.
Every saddle is fitted to horse and rider. Send us tracings — we do the rest.
Every saddle we build comes with lifetime repair service at cost of materials only.
Free shipping across the continental U.S. on orders over $500. Fully insured, tracked, on time.
We build for real work — long trails, morning gathers, arena runs, weekend rides. The tooling on our saddles is more than decoration; it's a signature that will outlast us. When the leather softens and the silver takes on its patina, that's when the saddle becomes truly yours.
Start your build →My Cimarron Roper is five years old and still sits my mare like the day it arrived. Mary and her team stand behind every stitch.
The custom fitting process is unlike anything else on the market. It's like they built the saddle around my horse, not the other way around.
Beautiful tooling and outstanding customer service. Shipping was quick and the packaging was as thoughtful as the work itself.
Start with a conversation. We'll talk about your horse, your discipline, and the ride you dream about.
