The Stagecoach West Started as a small western store when it opened in 1980. Family owned and operated, the owners and staff have always listened to the needs of riders. For this reason the store expanded in size and soon became one of the largest tack and saddlery stores in the United States. Bar J Saddlery grew from the necessity of customers asking for better quality and unique tack and saddlery. The high quality standards of Bar J Saddlery have become the standard The Stagecoach West lives by. Bar J has a clear objective: provide high quality, handmade tack and saddlery at an affordable price.
