The Whiting Heritage Hackle Saddles are the colours of yesteryear from the days of Ted Hebert and Andy Miner and then the quality has been improved by Dr.Tom Whiting with his selective breeding program. The Heritage hackle is all about the most sought after hard to get colours like Speckled Badger, Speckled Duns and the Champagne range of colours and those very special Unique Variants that you only see once in a while!! Owning a Heritage Hackle Saddle is something to treasure as the colouration on most is unique with each saddle being very special in its own right.
