Nancy & Her Husband Jim
Martiny Saddle Company is located in the high mountain deserts of the Pahsimeroi Valley near May, Idaho. Saddlemaker Nancy Martiny admits it’s a privilege to be able to build custom saddles from her home shop found on the Martiny family ranch, which has been raising beef cattle for more than 121 years.Nancy spends most of her time building custom saddles, but she also spends a lot of time helping her husband Jim with the bucking horses and beef cattle they raise. The Martiny’s cattle spend the summer on the Morgan Creek grazing allotment in some of the steepest mountain terrain found above the Salmon River. This gives Nancy and Jim plenty of opportunities to put Nancy’s saddles to the test- in conditions where quality isn’t an option, it’s a necessity.
