OUR BUSINESS
We at Salty's are founded on a deep appreciation of the gear the working cowboy uses to get his job done. We know that tack and saddles are not just valuable for their functionality but also for the time and skill devoted to their making and the traditions they hand down. Our goal is to outfit the cowboy with quality gear in a way that honors the artistry and history of each piece.
OUR NAMESAKE
As a teenager, Fran "Salty" McKinnis moved back to her birthplace of Idaho to chase a dream of earning her wages as a cowboy. She succeeded and thats where she earned her nickname "Salty". She has dedicated so much of her life to teaching others the ways of horses, and more importantly, the joy of following God. We are honored with the privilege of sharing her name.
