Kevin Report post Posted March 3, 2009 Warning, this may be a bit of a rant; I am looking for Veg tanned English stirrup butts, preferably Sedgewick's. I have been waiting since October for some I ordered from my good friends at Siegle. I called to check on the order last week and was told, oh we aren't stocking that any more you have to order it and pay in advance. I already waited 4 Months!! I can't wait until they need to order another container of leather. And then wait God knows how long for that to get here. Oh no, this is a rant, I'm getting up and walking around the room. My customers LIVES, no not livelihoods, depend on the safety of their equipment. Most of the girls I know make bull riders look like sissies. Did you ever see the Toyota comercial where the rider jumps the truck? That was Abigail Lufkin, it's just another day for an event rider. I couldn't even say how many of my customers have died doing what they love in the twenty eight years I've been doing English work. And it's not ignorance or inexperience, they go balls to the wall and if you stay at it long enough, you will get hurt. Oh yeah, so I'm looking for stirrup butts, Veg tanned panel hide and I can't seem to find any decent girth buckles anymore. Weaver's are huge ugly monsters and the last ones I got from Windmill, were roller buckles without the roller, they are nasty. The last time I got something from Abbey, I ordered red webbing with a blue stripe and I got blue webbing with a red stripe, them Anglish speak a different language. Please no offense, I love the English, two great nations separated by a common language. Thank you for your indulgence, I will now take a powder and retire, Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
