What Is Half-Breed Tooling On A Saddle?

As you may have noticed, the Billy Cook 1524 barrel saddle is described as having half-breed tooling. So, what is that?

  • Half-breed tooling means a saddle has a combination of rough-out leather and smooth-out (or “smooth”) leather, with the smooth leather being stamped or carved. For example, a saddle with rough-out seat jockeys and stirrup fenders, but with smooth-out skirts that are stamped or carved.
  • Half-breed tooling can also refer to a saddle that is all smooth-out (or “smooth”) leather, with only some of the leather being stamped or carved. For example, a saddle with plain (not carved or stamped) seat jockeys and stirrup fenders, but with stamped or carved skirts.

The Billy Cook 1524 barrel saddle is an example of the first definition above (rough-out seat jockeys and stirrup fenders, but with smooth-out skirts that are stamped or carved).

In case you’re curious, there can be other definitions of half-breed saddle tooling. There isn’t an industry-wide rule that says half-breed tooling has to be defined a certain way, so some folks may use the term differently. However, the definitions and examples given above are common.
