Reinsman is taking over the Sharon Camarillo saddles that Court's had their stamp on.
" Courts Saddlery has been the maker of Sharon Camarillo saddles for over 30 years. Unfortunately, Courts is closing their doors in September of 2017. There will no longer be a Sharon Camarillo Courts Saddle!
Good news however! Reinsman will introduce the new Sharon Camarillo saddle in the Fall of 2017! Watch here for new developments and new styles! You will have the same great fit and features that you have come to know and love! "
I am guessing Reinsman is buying the trees Court's had in them and is covering them with their leather. Same fit but different leather. Court's used Median quality at best but to me it was softer than the leather Reinsman uses. Who wants to make bets that the price will increase once Reinsman takes over the Court's tree? LOL |

Location: Displaced Iowegian | I think Court's Saddlery has struggled since they completely lost everything in a fire about 6 years ago. Even with insurance, it was a devastating blow to replace equipment, supplies, etc. |

This is a very good point. I had forgotten about this. |
