Our motto is "Affordable quality that brings out the uniqueness in you,” and we can cater to your specific needs.

Changes can be easily accommodated to help with promotional areas i.e. sponsor names, your logo, or size and style variations.

Buckles are designed from original hand drawings and crafted with extensive scrolls of art unmatched by our competitors. Each piece of material is cut out, arranged and engraved by hand. Depending on investment, items are made with jeweler’s gold, gold plating or real gold on a German or sterling silver base.

Several different shaped buckle bases are available including three piece sets. These are small enough to be used on bridles or spur straps too. Custom spurs can be made using buckle designs. Each standard buckle design is easily customized with figures, scrolls, ribbons according to your choice. Add colored stones, real gems and diamonds, whatever strikes your fancy. We look forward to serving you!

Shea Fisher- Durfey

ABOUT SHEA…

Shea Fisher’s music career is a remarkable journey marked by talent, resilience, and a deep connection to her roots. After signing her first recording contract at just 16 years old, she quickly established herself in the Australian country music scene, where her unique sound and relatable storytelling resonated with listeners. Shea’s passion for music has led her to release six #1 songs, a significant achievement that highlights her ability to craft songs that speak to the heart.

From the very beginning, Shea’s music was influenced by her upbringing in a family of rodeo champions. This background not only shaped her identity but also provided rich material for her songwriting. Her songs often weave themes of love, family, and the thrill of rodeo life, allowing her to connect with audiences on a personal level. With a blend of traditional country sounds and contemporary elements, Shea carved out a niche that made her a standout artist in the genre.

In 2009, Shea took a bold leap by moving to Nashville, the epicenter of country music. This decision was a dream come true, but it came with its challenges. Shortly after her arrival, the record label she signed with shut down, leaving her at a crossroads in her career. “It was a difficult moment,” she recalls. “I had to decide whether to give up or keep pushing forward.” Instead of retreating, Shea chose to persevere, taking her talent to Texas, where she encountered new opportunities and experiences that would shape her path.

During her time in Texas, Shea met Tyson Durfey, a now World Champion rodeo cowboy. Their friendship blossomed into romance, and they married in 2013. As Tyson pursued his rodeo career, Shea dedicated herself to supporting him while also nurturing her musical aspirations. She traveled the rodeo circuit, building relationships and performing at various events, which helped keep her music alive during a busy period of family life.

Despite the challenges of balancing motherhood and a demanding career, Shea found time to cultivate her passion for music. She launched her entrepreneurial venture, Shea Michelle Buckles & Shea Baby children’s clothing, while also giving birth to their three children. Throughout this time, her love for music never waned. Shea began to write new songs and explore her creativity again, realizing how much she missed performing and connecting with her audience.

In recent years, Shea’s determination to return to the music scene has reignited her career. She began revisiting old songs and writing new material. Collaborating with industry figures, including a member of Garth Brooks’ team and Walker Hayes, Shea has crafted a new collection of songs that reflect her growth and experiences over the years.

As Shea reflects on her journey, she emphasizes the importance of dreaming big. “I want my kids to see their mom as a strong leader,” she explains. “It’s never too late to pursue what sets your soul on fire.” With her music career reignited, Shea Fisher is poised to continue inspiring audiences through her songs, proving that with dedication and passion, anything is possible. Her story is a beautiful reminder that music is not just a career but a way to connect, heal, and inspire others—one note at a time.

ABOUT TYSON...

Tyson Durfey grew up in Savannah, Missouri, training horses and ranching with his dad and brothers. 

“My dad Roy roped in the PRCA, and then when he quit, he started ranching and riding calf roping horses. My whole family, including my older brothers Travis and Wes, roped calves.”

At nine years old, Tyson competed in his first rodeo, and as soon as he turned eighteen, he hit the rodeo trail.

Tyson’s PRCA career began in 2003 and through the years, he has earned his way into the highest ranks of professional tie-down ropers. His achievements include three Canadian World Championships (the first ever non-Canadian resident to achieve this feat), winning “The American” in 2014, qualifying seven times for the WNFR, and over one million dollars in PRCA earnings. Tyson’s work ethic and passion for this sport have propelled him to household name status among rodeo fans. In 2016 Tyson became the WORLD CHAMPION & achieved a long life dream. 

Tyson believes his success is best used as a platform to serve others. He does this through supporting many charitable foundations, especially those focused on breast cancer research, and his signature pink shirt is worn in support of those battling the disease. Outside of the arena, Tyson puts his business mind to use through growing Shea Michelle Buckles, public speaking, and promoting his sponsors and partners.

Tyson and Shea met at Rodeo Houston in 2011. Sparks flew and they were married on October 6, 2013. Shea Michelle Buckle Designs was launched by Shea in 2010, and they continue to grow the company together. Designs by Shea and Designs by Durfey were launched in 2015. The couple lives near Weatherford, Texas. When they’re not traveling to a rodeo, you can find them working out at the nearest gym, riding their young prospects, or working on their business.
