Nice work! Gotta show these to my wife

Me too, Chris! I do love those old high-backs! Grampa Joel- thanks for the input. That date (1930's) sounds right in regard to the swells. This saddle was in pretty good shape til a couple years ago. Up to then it was ridden daily. A very comfortable saddle.

Anyone have input/info on this saddle?...

There is a topic somewhere on here where a lady built her horse with the jaws able to swivel. A very good idea for any who are planning to build one- wish I had done it with mine! It would be very handy as I have sewn wallets & found myself leaning around to the side of mine when stitching the ends...

Was hoping to get someinfo on this saddle. Haven't been too lucky with internet research & Tex-Tan didn't have much to say either (maybe jusr the wrong person?) Any way its an OLD Hereford with no #'s to be found... Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Yes Lobo I thought it was worth getting updated so alot of us newer to the craft could read. I've had experience in retail in the past & I have to say people are an interesting study... Harley I can only imagine the brides you have encountered. If they're anything like the bride/wedding shows my wife watches, Lord help ya! Dwight- ah, yes, paperwork,paperwork,paperwork!... Yuck! But necessary. I'm not yet a legitimate business in the eyes of Uncle Sam but am still doing all the paperwork- at least I'll know my profit/loss & can keep track of my spending. Thanks guys for all your input!

Entertaining read & so true!... A good thing to remember when dealing with public... Please don't use this story as a deterrent, but as a reminder to "have all your ducks in a row" as the saying goes. A written disclaimer signed by customer?...payment up front?... Sadly, a handshake & someone's word don't mean much to alot of people these days. Lobo set good example in dealing with his customers

I like it! Well done!

Good to know! Thanks!
