Official Saddle Sponsor of the National High School Rodeo Association

For over 15 years, Slone Saddles has proudly served as the official custom saddle sponsor of the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) — putting competition-built saddles in the hands of the country’s best young rodeo athletes year after year. It’s not a marketing partnership. It’s a commitment built on 40 years of rodeo experience and a saddle that’s designed to be ridden, not displayed.

Built for the Arena. Awarded to Champions.

When the National High School Rodeo Association selects a saddle sponsor, they’re making a statement about quality. Slone Saddles has held that position for over 15 years because we build custom saddles that meet the demands of serious competition — not saddles that look good in a trophy case and fall apart in the pen.

Every NHSRA award saddle is built on a Tod Slone-designed tree, crafted specifically for the event it’s being awarded for. Calf roping, team roping, barrel racing, steer wrestling — the tree geometry, the seat design, and the rigging are all tailored to how that event is actually ridden. That’s the Slone difference. Both the Diamond S Series and Silver Series saddles are available as trophy and award saddles, each backed by industry-leading tree warranties: 10 years on the Diamond S and 7 years on the Silver Series.

Tod Slone is a seven-time PRCA NFR Tie-Down Roper who actually rode a Diamond S trophy saddle when he won the 1994 NFR Tie-Down Roping Average Title. He doesn’t design saddles from behind a desk — he designs them from decades in the arena. That expertise is baked into every saddle that carries the Slone name, and it’s why the NHSRA has trusted us as their official saddle sponsor for over 15 years.
