Ranahan Customs

Ranahan Customs & Awards

“By Ranch and Rodeo Folks for Ranch and Rodeo Folks.”

Ranahan: a term used to describe a skilled or experienced cowboy, or a “top hand”. It’s a throwback to the Old West and a tribute to our family heritage.

Ranahan Customs & Awards is a family owned Silversmith and Award business owned and operated by Ranch and Rodeo families. We understand our customer needs through experience, we live the lifestyle. Based in East Texas, we opened our doors in 2021 and have grown to be a trusted source of western trophy awards. Deep rooted in tradition and the Western lifestyle, the Ranahan logo is artwork from a photo of our great Grandfather that was taken in Sweetwater, Wyoming in 1908 where he was a Rancher. 

All of our buckles are made by hand, we do not offer the thinner, die cast buckles. We pride ourselves on the quality craftsmanship from our team of Metalsmith Professionals. We are not a factory, we are a shop of skilled workers that take pride in our craftsmanship. We do not mass produce the same buckle designs. 

Quotes include example photos, however we are happy to change or swap out borders, backgrounds, etc. Due to the hand made nature of our business, we would love to work with you to achieve the award program your contestants deserve. We know how much work it takes to make Finals and all of the things that go along with that. Since we have been there, we assure every single piece that we present is fitting of a years worth of work. It’s never “just a buckle” with us.

Ranahan Custom Rodeo Western Belt Buckle Award

Custom Belt Buckles and Western Awards

Who we are is derived from the man in this logo.

Owner & Founder, Holly, built Ranahan Customs from the legacy left by her Great-Grandfather who was a true “Top Hand” who exemplified honesty, integrity, loyalty, and always getting the job done. We would love to quote your Rodeo Awards, FFA Awards, or 4H Awards.

Meet the Ranahan Team

Kirsten Riley

Kirsten is on the Rodeo Team at Panola College and will be graduating in May. Kirsten has been active in rodeo for 13 years. She has played field and arena polo, participated in Hunter Jumper, Western Pleasure, and almost everything you can do on a horse. We are excited to add her All Around experience to Ranahan.

Kim & Hadley Fannon | California

This mother-daughter duo is loaded with talent, experience, and personality to serve our customers. Kim and her husband of 25+ years work together to maintain their ranch, horses, and dogs, as well as bring their children up through all of the levels of rodeo, and beyond. Hadley, her oldest daughter, has graduated on to college rodeos, but still has time for family and living out her passion for barrel races and breakaway roping through all avenues. She loves winning and collecting buckles almost as much as she is excited to start designing and selling them. This duo isn't the epitome of what a rodeo family looks like and we are proud to have our first mother-daughter pair representing Ranahan.
