King's X Report post Posted August 24, 2009 Dusty: I read somewhere that you once did a half size saddle competition or article? Anyways, you would happen to have any patterns or instructions for these miniature saddles by chance? I know that George Hast wrote a couple of articles on how to build these saddles for "Make It With Leather" magazine. I haven't been able to find anything written articles from him or patterns? I also found a guy by the name of Ed Skobalski from Oroville Washington who was selling patterns similar to these but narrowed it down to Santa Fe and Mother Hubbard patterns for beginners. Just thought I would hit you up to see what input you had. I have been on a horse maybe less than 12 times in my life, but these miniatures intrigue me and maybe something I could do for family gifts down the rode. Any help or suggestions would be strongly appreciated. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Denise Report post Posted August 24, 2009 I know Dusty did a whole series of articles in LCSJ quite a few years back on a number of miniature things including saddles. It might have been the late 80's. If you call up LCSJ and ask I would expect they could tell you when and have back copies for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
