Gary Keithley
Specializing in hand-crafted cowboy gear that is both functional and beautiful
A fourth generation Idahoan, Gary grew up on a family cattle ranch near Midvale and began creating saddles and other cowboy gear while still in high school. Having spent much of his life as a working cowboy, he understands the need for comfortable, functional riding gear that is also aesthetically pleasing. In 1992 Gary was awarded a competitive grant from the Idaho Commission on the Arts (ICA) to attend the acclaimed Elmer Miller School of Silversmithing in Nampa, Idaho. He also served as a Master Artist through the ICA's Traditional Arts Apprenticeship program in 2005, teaching the art of saddlemaking. In 2010, Gary was honored with an Idaho Governor's Award in the Arts - Excellence in Folk and Traditional Arts. contact
