Become a TW Saddlery & Specialized Saddles Representative
At Specialized Saddles and TW Saddlery, our representatives are more than saddle salespeople—they are horse people, riders, educators, and advocates for horse comfort.
Our saddles are built around one simple belief: every horse deserves a saddle that fits correctly. Because proper saddle fit is at the heart of everything we do, we are selective about who represents our brand.
We are looking for riders who are passionate about helping horses, educating fellow riders, and sharing the benefits of our adjustable saddle systems with their local equestrian communities.
We Believe Experience Matters
Before becoming a representative, applicants must have owned and ridden in a Specialized Saddles or TW Saddlery saddle for at least one year.
Why?
Because we want our representatives to speak from experience.
The best representatives are riders who have personally experienced the comfort, adjustability, and benefits of our saddles and are excited to share those experiences with others.
We aren’t looking for people who simply want to sell saddles—we are looking for people who genuinely believe in what we do.

Your First Step
To ensure representatives have real-world experience and demonstration saddles available for customers to try, new representatives begin by purchasing two saddles at retail price.
These saddles become the foundation of your demonstration program and allow you to gain valuable experience fitting different horses while giving potential customers the opportunity to try our saddles.
Having multiple saddles available helps create a better experience for both the representative and the rider.
