Marketing Proposal for Showcasing Photos for Saddlework In admiring the Traditional Cowboy Arts Association website, numerous saddlemaker’s websites and various forums, I noticed that there are some that provide good overall shots and great detail shots of the saddles. Some are limited to one overall shot. I have also looked at several saddlemakers’ scrapbooks whose desire was to detail their saddle work. Unfortunately many of the scrapbooks and websites don’t show enough detail to show off their work. Likewise many times on our forum members ask for additional photos for details. This got me to thinking about the saddlemaker scrapbooks and websites. Specifically…

Hi all, I recently made myself a new pair of reins to use for themed photoshoots and last weekend a friend of mine visited to make some photo's of me and one of the horses with my handmade outfit. Now onto the task of making a matching bridle for this set! So happy how they turned out! The quiver, ridingskirt, saddlepad, reins and armbracers are all selfmade. Bridle by Woodenwulf.

Here's a noseband I made a little while ago. I think nosebands are pretty fun pieces to make. Side note: If you're border line is the same width as the thickness of the leather, you get a cool, very round looking border. Thanks for looking! All the best, Ryan

In April/May I attended the Montana Horseman Saddle Building School that Dale Moore runs in Belgrade. I completed my first saddle there (and had a great time). I've been busy since getting my own little saddle shop together and putting miles on it since then, but now that I'm about to start #2 I thought I'd share. It's a 16" seat with flat plate rigging and what Dale has terms a "balanced ride" stirrup strap setup. Maybe there's another name. Basically instead of forming a loop around the bars, the stirrup strap is severed at the bars and the buckle connects to a separate strap that hinges a couple inches forward on the tree. The idea is tha…
