I am a few years late even looking at this, but just wanted to say it was a great first saddle! as for the stingray, I know a large number of barrel racers that love it on their seats

I like it! only thing i'll say and it is not a critique because I don't feel qualified to do that!!!... is i'd love it even more if it had the Cheyene cantle rather than the pencil roll this is something that in the future i hope to do!! I'm sure someone will "take it off your hands" and love it at some point!!! how many saddles hove you built now?

I am just finding this thread now as i was reading volume 1, with 2 and 3 waiting to be read and thinking "i have never seen Vol 4...." and wondering if it had been published... Thank you for the other ideas of where to look for information. Oh how i wish they had been able to publish more books!

Looks like what we call a correction bit based on what i can see of the shape of the port( no matter what it is called a curb bit due to the shanks on either side of the mouthpiece, and this one as another poster said is a ported mouthpiece, they can have jointed ones. ) Any marker's Marks on it? the rings at the bottom of the shanks tell me that it was likely meant to be used with romel reins and rein chains.

beautiful... I bet all the winners were darn happy with them ( know I would be!!)
