“My life pursuit has given me the chance to work some of the finest ranches and pack outfits in the west. From those experiences, I have gained an appreciation of the unique marriage between art and function as it applies to fine working gear. Along with any discussion surrounding a Bill Black Hackamore, Garcia Bit or Louis Ortega Rein, one would be well advised to take the opportunity to contact this master craftsman in regards to his fine gear. Al Gould is his name. When it comes to tooling, carving and yes, a seat beyond mention, a fit beyond compare, Al makes a saddle that is among the best.”
- Rob Rylee
“Covering leather all day long, whether on a search, packing or gathering, it's real nice to have a great fitting Gould Saddle for me and my horse. It's kind of handsome too!! I should have had one made 20 years ago.”
- Ed Campos, Commander - High Sierra Sheriff Mounted Search and Rescue
