Elite Custom Saddles

admin — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:12:35 +0000

Ruben is proud to endorse “Elite Custom Saddles”

While searching for a new show saddle, Ruben was introduced to Ray Blanco Sr. & Ray Blanco Jr. of Elite Custom Saddles in Tioga, TX. After talking with them briefly Ruben knew that “Elite” was going to be his next saddle. Throughout the whole process of the build the Blanco family included Ruben, getting his ideas and opening him up to some of theirs – at the end of the build they were left with the new VANDORP REINER!

In the first year of endorsing the new Vandorp Reiner, Ruben made the Open Finals at the NRHA Futurity in Oklahoma City riding one of these very saddles!

Ruben had this to say…

My experience with Elite Custom Saddles was nothing short of amazing. Ray and his dad did a phenomenal job building my saddle. My saddle gives me the real close contact with my horse that I need. On top of that it is a true work of art that caught the eye of all my fellow reiners at the horse show. These guys love what they do and it shows!!!

To purchase one of these great saddles (customized to your specifications), please contact Ruben at
