In 1869, three experienced saddle makers from Sonora, Mexico, formed the Visalia Stock Saddle Company. Ricardo Mattley carved the saddle trees from oak, Juan Martarell did most of the leatherwork and Alsalio Herrera did the silver smithing.
David “D.E.” Walker bought the company in 1870 but retained the founders for the next 20 years. Walker was a skilled businessman and brilliant promoter. He built the brand, advertised extensively and started a mail-order business. Even after his 1887 retirement, when he sold the business to his nephew, Edmund Meeks, all Visalia Stock Company saddles were marked with his name.
Meeks closed the Visalia shop and moved to San Francisco in 1890; he died in 1930 and the company was taken over by Leland Bergen. Bergen sold the company in 1945 to Sheldon Potter, who moved the company to Sacramento in 1950. While the company was sold four more times, in 1958, 1964, 1977 and 1982, the Visalia Stock Saddle brand has retained its reputation as one of the finest saddles and western goods still made."
