From DIY kits and educational workshops to durable, ready-to-use tack, Sagebrush Tack combines scientific insight, artistry, and horsemanship. Every product is designed to fit well, function correctly, and enhance communication between horse and rider.
Our mission is simple: helping riders help their horses.

5. Sagebrush Items Shipping
Sagebrush Tack is owned by Julie Pratt, a lifelong equestrian who grew up in the Canadian prairies riding a variety of English & Western disciplines. She custom makes all of her SB items by hand using traditional methods of horse-tack making.
The processing time (time it takes her to make an item) depends on the item ordered, but most items will be shipped within 2-3 weeks.
She completes her orders in the order they were received around training horses and running a small farming operation. During peak times (often around Christmas and start of show season), items may take up to 4-5 weeks.
7-business day RUSH orders are available for an additional fee, please email her at info@sagebrushtack.com to confirm with current order load.

6. Saddles Shipping
The saddles we offer have many customization options. We coordinate with our supplier (Passier) to have your saddle made to your exact specifications.
The lead time for a basic saddle is approximately 6-8 weeks, but this timing can go up depending on the intricacy of the saddle.
As far as fitting goes, it’s best work with a fitter to determine which saddle/size would be the best fit for the horse/rider combination.
Passier saddles fit a wide variety of horses and their trees are adjustable using a tree press. They are also wool flocked, therefore, they can be flocked to fit the horse more accurately.
We will work with you to find the perfect saddle. Please contact us at info@sagebrushtack.com for all saddle inquiries!

International
- Standard International: 6 to 10 business days — $150.00
US
- Standard International: 4 to 8 business days — $125.00
Please Note:
All saddles are made-to-order, so it is absolutely imperative that the correct saddle options are ordered.
Saddles are final sale, non-refundable and cannot be exchanged.
7. What payment methods do you accept?
Canadian customers: Preferred method is Email Money Transfer (EFT) to info@sagebrushtack.com
International customers: Google Pay, Apple Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal, and American Express are available.
(Payment must be made in full once the order is finalized. Orders are not processed until paid in full.)
8. Can I cancel my order?
Custom orders: Once production has started, they cannot be cancelled.
If the order hasn’t started yet, a refund is possible minus any fees (PayPal, EFT, etc.).
Please email info@sagebrushtack.com to check the status of your order.
9. Can I return items?
Custom items: No returns accepted, as each piece is handmade to your specifications. We have millions of possible colour combinations- no two items
Workmanship issues: If you encounter a problem with craftsmanship, please contact us immediately—we’ll handle it on a case-by-case basis.
Non-custom items in our Select Gear and Supplies sections can be returned within 14 days, provided they are sent back in the same condition they arrived in (with tags on!).
10. What about broken snaps and hardware?
Metal snaps and hardware break under stress—it’s often safer for hardware to break than for your horse to get injured.
If hardware isn’t working properly:
- Wash in warm water to loosen dirt.
- Add a drop of oil once dry.
If still not working, contact us—we can guide you through a DIY repair or repair it at a reasonable rate.
11. How durable are your paracord and rope products?
Our paracord and yacht rope are strong and built to last, but they’re not indestructible.
- Clean regularly.
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight (UV rays can fade and weaken materials). With proper care, your tack will last a long time.
