A little about the Oliver family

 

Welcome and thanks for riding by today.  We're the Oliver family in Amarillo, Texas.  We've been serving the American cowboy with quality leather goods for four generations.  C. W. Oliver (Claude) started his shop in Vernon, Texas in 1917 and was later joined by sons Bill and Jack.  They continued the tradition of serving the working cowboy under the name of Oliver Brothers Saddle Shop until Bill moved to Prescott, Arizona in the early 50's.  Bill returned to his native Texas and opened the Bill Oliver Saddle Shop in Amarillo in 1960.  Richard Oliver joined his dad and in turn has been joined by his sons and we are the Oliver Saddle Shop.  Each generation has passed along the knowledge and skills needed to build the best equipment possible for the working ranch cowboy, the pleasure horseman and the competing showman.  Our pride runs deep in our saddles and tack that we build and use ourselves.  Our saddles are handmade and numbered and we keep a record of every saddle we make.  We can usually give you full information on any saddle we have made, just find the number on the cantle and give us a call.  Richard and sons Bryan and Zeb Oliver combine to offer you over 45 years of personal experience in building ranch, cutting, roping and show saddles and tack.  Colt and Kadie Vernon are siblings they have been with us since coming to school at WTAMU. Colt Vernon does most of the repair work and is building saddles too.  Kadie Vernon takes care of the customers and then whatever else is asked of her.  Jeff Cates has recently joined the staff and will be handling alot of the strap goods and repair work.  We are blessed to have such great employees.  That about rounds out our crew and any of us can assist you in any of your needs when you come by or call.

     If you are ever in the area, please come by and visit - the coffee's always on and we love meeting new friends and visiting with old ones.  The most familiar faces are from here in the southwest but friends have been made nation and world wide.  WE CAN SHIP ANYWHERE!   

Yesterday, today and tomorrow - the Oliver family name stands for quality.
