Like to (let) make a „Visalia“ headstall. Round leather with sterling silver ferrules and 5/8 buckles. How do I put the round ferrules on the cheek parts ( 5/8 flat for buckles and the round sewed ). Would appreciate help and resources for the silver ferrules. What diameter is needed when flat end comes to 5/8? Thank you, Beatrice

Hello Andy, I can just agree to the others, and - I can really do it, because I see the saddle in real and can ride it now every day!! Just great like the other one you made for me. I am so sorry for not having the saddle stings ready for this pictures, but I will share that later with you and the others. A huge compliment, Bea

Dear Bob, thank you a lot for the info and the picture. Now I get an idea, how you mean it and what is different from the saddle I referred to. I appreciate your information, thanks a lot. Kind regards, Bea

Hi Jan, thanks for info, but I guess we were not talking about the same. I look for a solution when making a new saddle, not an adapation. In addition I ride my 2 paints daily and as well at the cow. Thanks a lot for your input, Bea

Dear saddle makers, I am new in this formum, do myself some leatherbraiding. Face the problem, to get a saddle that fits me. Maybe it sounds very stupid to you! I have short legs, 169cm tall, about 58kg. Look for a slik fork saddle, made for a female, flat seat (15.5) and I need to be as close as possible to the horse with my legs. The problem is the style of the rigging and how the stirup leathers are made. This latigo wrapping around is often very long, is bulky and is to close to the bleving buckles and pushes all away. What do I have to consider, that it is not so bulky. A lokal saddlemaker made a saddle for a friend who has the same problem. It is a full double 7/8 rigging and the stirupleathers and the fenders are so bulky and I and is ways away from the horse. This saddle is not rideable for me! Can you tell me what to order or who could make me a saddle considering this needs. The horse is a paint mare. Further details about her whehn we get in contact. I would very much appreciate the help from you professionals. To give you an idea what style I would like see the picture Kind regards Bea
