| George Stark |
Horseman George Stark has a heritage strongly rooted in horses. His father, John Thomas Stark, was the trainer for the Bing Crosby Thoroughbred Farm from 1937 to 1944. During his tenure, California's Thoroughbred Magazine named him Horseman of the Year. George's earliest memories are full of lavish stories about his father's career and he attributes his love of horses to the elder Stark's memoirs and his own childhood and career experiences. His vast knowledge of horses has been honed over a lifetime of shoeing, exercising, starting, training and breeding horses. While running his Farrier business, he took classes in saddle making from a local boot and saddle shop. Here, he discovered his knack for leather crafting.This revelation spawned a new passion. A combination of skill, experience and wisdom led him to a new line of business at Starks Saddlery. His understanding of how a saddle should fit both the horse and rider is rapidly gaining him notoriety as a custom saddle builder. Today, most of his time is devoted to fashioning uniquely individualized saddles. George offers a diversity of customized, high quality and original leather products. See him in his new shop at Ghost Rock Ranch making saddles and working with our horses.
