The Ryon Family

Sean Ryon, owner & president of Sean Ryon Saddle Shop & Western Store in the Fort Worth stockyards, has been in business for over 30 years.  The Ryon family has been in the stockyards for seven generations.  Sean's great great grandfather, T. J Ryon purchased the first load of cattle in the stockyards in the late 1800s.  Sean Ryon specializes in 100% handmade saddles, which are all built in house, custom handmade boots, and fine quality hats that are all made here in Texas.

Sean is pictured with wife Dixie, sons Kevin, Matt, & Michael and daughter Windy.

Kevin attends TCU and will graduate in December 2014 with a degree in combined Science & Geology.  Matt also attends TCU and is majoring in Applied Geoscience and energy Management.  Michael is a Freshman at Argyle High School and plays football & basketball for the Argyle Eagles.

Sean is the grandson of Don "Windy" Ryon, who at the age of 13, left home and went to work on a ranch in New Mexico in the 1930s, and later brought that knowledge back to Fort Worth and opened Ryon's Saddle Shop in 1944..  Sean continues to carry on the tradition of quality to this day.
