Jacquelynn’s fascination with sidesaddles began in 2013 when she was a member of a Victorian re-enactment group. She loved the attention to detail put into the habits and felt the same energy should be devoted to the tack being used – starting with saddles! She took it upon herself to buy her first sidesaddle, which she used in parades and performances.

 

Jacquelynn’s primary influence was Lillian Chaudhary. Though they had limited exchanges before Lillian’s passing, Jacquelynn admired her dedication to building sidesaddles fit for the modern horse and rider. 

 

Jacquelynn’s knowledge of sidesaddles evolved over the years as she invested in over 50 sidesaddles from varying time periods. She began dismantling western sidesaddles and rebuilding them. These first-hand, self-taught educational opportunities allowed Jacquelynn to form her own understanding of the balance and structure put into well-made western sidesaddles. 

 

Like many sidesaddle enthusiasts, Jacquelynn has experimented with countless sidesaddles before finding “the ones”. Each of the saddles that didn’t work out, contributed to Jacquelynn’s refinement in what she recommends for an individual seeking a western sidesaddle. 

 

In 2018, Jacquelynn founded the Idaho Sidesaddle Association. It is an ever-growing group of phenomenal women, who share the same passion for learning the art of riding aside.
