Troy West, Saddlemaker (Member)
Azle, Texas

Troy West wanted to become a professional rodeo cowboy, but in 1977, when his brother decided to attend school in Amarillo, Texas, to learn saddle-building, West went too. Along with making beautiful saddles, his lifelong goal includes creating a saddletree that is comfortable for the horse and the rider. He has won Best of Show at the Boot and Saddlemaker Roundup five times and, in 2014, received the Will Rogers Award for Saddlemaker of the Year. West said becoming a TCAA member is one of the major highlights of his career — he considers it an honor and a privilege to work with some of the best craftsmen in the world.
