Even with the passage of time, it remains firm, it survives changes, preserving for us a history of charrería and leather work.
Located in the center of the Magical Town of Amealco, a few meters from the main square, La Porfiriana Saddlery endures in front of the new generations, offering products that recall the livestock and equestrian tradition of a past Mexico.
It offers its services in a building of great antiquity, one that has been transformed as much as its population. Within its walls there are vestiges of history, such as tiles that have existed since 1830.
It started as a grocery store, until Jesús' grandfather, the current manager, decided to buy it and change the line of business to dedicate himself to the sale of pulque. However, due to bad experiences, it was necessary to change course again, becoming a saddlery that today has more than 30 years in service.
The store offers a wide variety of items, from saddles, harness, briefcases, covers, coats, muzzles, and many more items for horses and donkeys, brought from states such as San Luis Potosí, Veracruz or Guanajuato. They also handle parts on behalf of the customer.
If you are interested in a different visit from the rest, get to know the saddlery, they are open from 9 am to 5 pm.
