Karel Císař Karel, a craftsman based in the Czech Republic with over 24 years of experience, is renowned for his quality saddles, used all over the world, including in the United States. He was trained by a master saddler influenced by the American Wild West tradition. Karel has mastered the art of mule saddles, knowing the anatomy of their backs in depth.
His saddles, crafted with meticulous care, start at 3200 euros. They are designed on a wooden tree covered with fiberglass. The price varies depending on the leather used, the options chosen, and the specific requests of the customers. In addition to saddles, Karel also makes luggage and pack saddles, always with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Karel does not talk about weight but about the beauty of each piece

These three craftsmen specialize in making custom saddles, both for mules and horses.
The fourth, however, is an American craftsman who stands out for his different approach: he offers "ready-to-wear" saddles. Although his finishes are less refined and there is no possibility of customization, his saddles, surprisingly suitable for a wide range of mules, remain of very good quality. I would therefore mention the Steve Edwards saddles
With customs and shipping costs, you will have to count around 2500 euros for a basic model. These saddles generally weigh between 9 and 12 kg.
