Rose Fire Saddles & Tack
You’ve seen her smiling face at cowhorse and reining shows, and maybe you’ve even had her help you out with buying or selling some gorgeous tack. As one of our first and favourite partners, Xibition is honoured to feature Jessica Turner (J.T.), the face and force behind Rose Fire Saddles.
Jessica Turner (commonly know as J.T.) began with Bob’s Custom Saddles over a decade ago and now represents them in Southern Alberta. She named her business Rose Fire Saddles to symbolize the quality and longevity of her products.
J.T. offers high-end tack sales and consignments and is the only non “brick and mortar” distributor of Tom Balding Bits and Spurs. Her business model provides a personalized experience to ensure optimal fit for both horse and rider. She prioritizes the horse's comfort and refuses to sell products that don't fit properly.
Rose Fire Saddles' dedication to excellence starts with what J.T. offers. How J.T. offers her wares through a uniquely personal experience is an online and mobile “Storefront” that encourages a one-on-one experience for both you and your equine partner. Whether you want to build a saddle from the ground up or are just looking for a better “fit,” J.T. will make sure your horse is happy, and then make sure you are too.
"I wanted to sell a product that symbolizes high quality, much like roses, which are considered a premium flower. Roses are beautiful yet resilient, mirroring the durability and elegance I envision for my products. I also wanted the name to represent a product that people would always need and use, and that's where the fire came in; it's an element that's been around forever and everybody uses it continually."
-J.T
J.T. started working with Bob’s Custom Saddles over ten years ago while employed at a local tack store. When JT left the tack store to further her career as a first responder (EMT/Firefighter), Bob’s asked her if she wanted to become their Southern Alberta distributor. A lover of quality tack, J.T. jumped at the chance to represent a brand she believes offers some of the finest saddles on the market today
J.T. continues to supply quality saddles and tack to Alberta's horse community, advocating for safety and style in all arenas.
"...at the heart of it all, I am much more concerned about your horse than you. I want something that fits your horse and that works for your horse so they can be as comfortable as possible and perform as best as possible. And then I wanted to fit you, and then I want it to be pretty and functional; that’s perfect, but really at the end of the day, I am a horse person and I have your horse in mind first. I’ve refused sales before where people have been like, 'I really like it; it fits close enough.' And I'm like, 'No, it doesn't. I'm not selling you this because it's gonna hurt your horse, and I can't do that.'"
