A Foundation Built on Service...

Bev Walter, Founder
Beval Saddlery LtdIn 1955, Bev Walter founded Beval Saddlery on a promise to provide superior saddlery services to horse show competitors. At the time, this unique "traveling workshop" brought great promise to a rapidly growing industry and paved the way for today's retail mobile units and horse show trade fairs.
Competitors soon came to rely on the expertise and quality offered by Beval's saddlery and leather repair services. Bev saw, first hand, the need for quality English riding equipment that, at the time, was not readily available to his valued clientele. His quest to find superior quality products took him to England where he quickly developed relationships with Master Saddlers. Bev combined his innovative ideas and concepts with English premium-grade leather and soon began importing saddlery and bridlery goods to the United States.... And that's just the beginning!
The backbone of Beval's reputation was created out of Bev's vision... a foundation of quality, innovation and style that he brought to the industry. He understood the importance of quality horse & riding equipment as well as the need to provide the style and comfort riders yearned for in their competive endeavors. This legacy would eventually be passed on to his son and current President & CEO, Mark Walter.
Expanding a Legacy...

Clarence Brown expertly repairs a leather halter in our NJ workshopA successful young rider and competitor, Mark quickly realized the unique opportunity his father's business brought to the industry. An innovative mind in his own right, Mark continued to develop the quality products and services riders needed and wanted. He designed a mobile unit that was second-to-none and brought an entirely new life to the on-the-road services his father had envisioned years before. His commitment to quality, service and innovation is evident in customer loyalty and the national growth the company has experienced.
