Brighton Feed and Saddlery has been the place to go since 1943 when the thrust was livestock, dairy, feed and poultry. The original owner, Clyde Peterson, was a rodeo man. A strong advocate of fairs and youth programs, he was on the committee to organize the Adams County Fair and Rodeo. He co-produced the Table Mountain Rodeos and operated the store until 1971, leaving a fine legacy and a sound name for Brighton Feed and Farm Supply.

The current owners, Roger and Verna Allgeier, moved from a ranching operation in southern Arizona to purchase the facility in 1973, with the full intention of building a fine tack and saddle shop. The couple has seen many changes in the last 35 years. Their local area has grown from a mostly rural farming and ranching community to an area of small horse acreages.

Realizing the necessity for a change in the industry, Roger and Verna joined forces in 1989 with Brad McClellan, a custom saddle maker in Vernal, Utah to produce a fine "custom-production" saddle. Working closely with customers, Roger knew there was a lack of true working cowboy saddles that fit today's horses and riders. Thus, McCall saddles were born. This partnership has filled a real niche in this area of customer satisfaction for Brighton Feed. With the advent of this focus, the company chose a minor name change to become Brighton Feed and Saddlery.

Roger, Verna, and a dedicated staff have grown Brighton Feed with the philosophy of getting to know their customer's unique needs and then fulfilling those needs with the high quality merchandise that the store offers. We have grown from one saddle in stock in 1973, to over 350 in stock at all times, and over 700 at our annual saddle sale in July. Brighton Feed has a full line of all the latest styles in tack and bits, from production to custom and handcrafted. Professional products at practical prices is our goal, and customer satisfaction is part of the service we provide at Brighton Feed.

We carry quality tack and feed to meet the needs of customers who make their living horseback, "suburban cowboys", or those who appreciate true horsemanship and want to improve their own expertise. Our selection of instructional videos and books help horse owners get the most from themselves and their horse. We also offer a wide selection of books, music, jewelry, and other gift items for those who enjoy the western heritage and lifestyle. (Click here to view a list of products we carry)
