Description
Hillcrest Saddlery is owned by Myron Razor, a lifelong horseman with a special interest in saddles of a practical design for pleasure riding. As an enthusiastic trail rider and bird dog field trialer, he has ridden thousands of miles in many types of saddles.
Myron grew up on a cattle farm in Kansas. He served in the U.S. Army Presidential Honor Guard in Arlington, Virginia during the Eisenhower administration. Following graduation from college, he spent 35 years in management positions in the financial services industry. He has held leadership roles in many civic and business organizations. He married his wife, Marcia, in 1961. They have two children-Melanie, an investment broker and Mark, a college teacher.
He is a long time collector and student of plantation, military, endurance and other saddle types that are designed for comfort of the horse and rider. He is particularly interested in the history and design of the various types of plantation saddles. In the course of acquiring and maintaining his personal collection of vintage saddles, he began doing a few of his own minor repairs, progressing to major repairs, then to building a few saddles, and-as the saying goes- "the rest is history".
