Swanky Saddle Co. describes itself as creating embellishment for the horses and rider, but we adore it because it produces "practical" items…with a modern twist. From custom saddle plates and tack trunk monograms to a unique collection of hand stamped jewelry, each Swanky Saddle product category offers edgy designs of traditional items.
Often the best business ideas are inspired by necessity, but become successful because of ingenuity. Founder Jodi Schlinkmann explains the impetus of the company, “Swanky Saddle Co. was inspired by my daughter...She refused to put a typical nameplate on her saddle. As I searched countless hours for something that was unusual, I decided to design one just for her.” And design she did. Working with with fabricators associated with the existing family business, Swanky Saddle Co. now delivers some of the most unique saddle plates in the hunter/jumper world. The company has also expanded to include additional popular personalized equestrian lifestyle items including hand-stamped jewelry, belts and buckles and heat transfer vinyl monograms.
The gallery below features a selection of K.M. Thornton & Co. top picks and clearly reflects a preference towards a modern, yet traditional look. Additionally, I weighed in with items I seem to often re-purchase because they get confused at the barn or at horseshows when I forget to put them away. Labeling with Sharpies just isn't my style! To experience the ingenious influence and breadth of products of Swanky Saddle Co., start with the online store at SwankySaddle.com. Even more inspiring are the company's pages on Facebook and Instagram as they are a virtual "lookbook" featuring customers proudly displaying each of their unique items specially created for them by the Swanky Saddle Co.
Salut!
