In this episode of the We Are Makers podcast, we sit down with Ben Geisler, owner of Trail's End Saddle Shop. Ben grew up in Idaho Falls, Idaho, surrounded by cowboy culture and spent much of his childhood making horn wraps, saddle pads, rawhide burners, and lariat ropes. Despite sustaining life-changing injuries in a motorcycle accident, Ben went on to serve in the US Army as a Field Artillery Officer. In this podcast, we delve into Ben's journey as a craftsman, his transition from the military to civilian life, and the founding of his saddle-making business.
