artwork details

Gessell has always liked the simple design of dove wing style spur straps – yet wanted to elevate that simple design by adding some “pretty” to it. No hardware needed, she notes, just a practical piece of riding equipment.

Carol Gessell, Saddlemaker (Member)
Ennis, Montana

Having always loved horses and beautiful handmade Western gear, Carol Gessell was given a little Tandy leather kit as a child, which she used to make tack for her model horses. Though she put the kit away when she got older, she pulled it out again years later to make tack for real horses. Gessell started her own custom leather business around 1998, and by 1999 she was able to focus on working leather full-time. Shortly after, she began to build saddles. In 2017, Gessell was the recipient of a TCAA Fellowship. Encouraged by the mentors she met through the fellowship program, she began applying for TCAA membership. Earlier this year, Gessell became the first full TCAA member who is a female.
