Official Saddle Sponsor of the National Junior High School Rodeo Association

Slone Saddles is the official custom saddle sponsor of the National Junior High School Rodeo Association (NJHSRA) — a partnership built on the belief that young competitors deserve saddles built to the same standard as the professionals they look up to. We don’t build a lesser saddle because the rider is younger. We build the same competition-ready custom saddle, sized and fitted for the next generation of rodeo athletes.

Starting Them Right. Building Them to Win.

The junior high rodeo years are where careers begin. The habits formed, the equipment trusted, and the saddles ridden at this level shape how young athletes develop — and Slone Saddles takes that responsibility seriously. As the official saddle sponsor of the NJHSRA, we bring the same design philosophy and manufacturing standards to junior high award saddles that we bring to every competition saddle we build.

Tod Slone began his PRCA career after years of developing his craft and his understanding of what a saddle needs to do under a working athlete. With over 40 years in the rodeo industry and seven NFR qualifications in tie-down roping, he designs every tree from a competitor’s perspective. NJHSRA award saddles are built on that same foundation — event-specific geometry, proper fit for horse and rider, and materials that hold up to real arena use.

Whether an association is awarding a single champion saddle or outfitting an entire slate of event winners, the Slone Saddles Certificate Program makes it easy to deliver a truly custom award that champions will be proud to ride for years to come. Both the Diamond S Series and Silver Series are available for junior high award programs, with tree warranties that stand behind every saddle we build.
