Hello Shelly, hello everyone
This is a definitely beautiful saddle and a absolutely great story going with it. I should have discovered this great forum six months ago...!!! I finished my very first saddle three weeks ago here in Switzerland in the workshop of Pablo Ulli. It took me about a year to make my first experiences with leatherwork to start with the saddlework. It took me 5 weeks (mostly 7 day weeks) to build it. My main concern was to make a working saddle, A-fork, high cantle, round skirts, fitting most QH and Paints. I'll try to post a picture or two and maybe open a new thread with way more pictures, as I have zillions of questions...
By the way, I am a not to bad handyman... I shall do a second saddle pretty soon; hmm I know how to do electricity (220V - 110V), maconnerie, woodwork, so may be we should talk...
Again, beautiful saddle, very inspiring, thanks for sharing.
