with what you listed for a black order, I would order a side of black. The price of the breast colar is more than enough to pay for a side, the rest of the order is profit. what ever you have left over from the side can be used to further the bank account.

talked with him on the 26th, trouble with my bevelers for last 18 months figured it was me till I used some other king bevelers told me to send them back and he would get them repaired or replaced.
nice job on your first. A point about your tunnel ground seat risers, I normally stop mine about an inch in front of the cantle points,this will help you to start placing the rider in a proper riding position and closer to the horse.
We have tapes from the first run and dvds from the first run, that were sent to us when he released them saddle was 5 & carving was 3. So I will asume that some where in there they changed the format some.
I use Brasso in the liquid, never had a problem with leather discoloring but then I only used it on black harness leather when we showed harness horses.
Give Steve a call, he can tell you if he has any left ( 1st order was 10 & I was number 8) I will say that they are less than artiasan, but then they are only 14", kinda wish he had gone 2" bigger, but I am sure he had his reasons.
