Multiple award winning saddle, bit and spur maker and Canadian native, Watt got his start in saddle making in 1976 at a saddle making school in Amarillo, Texas. After that he traveled around the country visiting saddle shops before he landed a job with Chuck Stormes (TCAA) of Calgary, Canada. After seven years he moved to the US, working as a ranch hand while building saddles and bits in the evening. After several years of roaming, Jeremiah, Colleen and the family settled in Coalinga, California.
Jeremiah has now worked for over 30 years as a full-time saddle and custom bit and spur maker. He manufactures all his own saddle trees and even processes the rawhide. Watt also has a line of bits and spurs as well as high quality leather tools.
