Members MyGalAl Posted February 18, 2009 Author Members Report Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) This Forum is amazing. So much shared info...a name, a phone call, and then resolved.I sure hope you plan to post pix of the repair, when you are getting it done. I think that would be very interesting. I can do that. BTW, It was interesting chatting with Ellis and he was most helpful. He owned his company for 10 years (1970 - 1980) in Van Nuys CA and almost all of his saddles were custom orders. He's going to get back to me with the name of someone he'd recommend for getting a new seat made. So, I have a 30+ year old gem of a saddle I got for small $ because it has a tear in the seat (well, and a few other small issues), PLUS I got to speak to the company owner some three decades after he leaves the business. That's what I call great customer service! Edited February 18, 2009 by MyGalAl Quote
Members MyGalAl Posted March 10, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) I wanted to post an interesting update on this saddle. My trainer finally got a chance to see it on my wide QH paint and sadly it didn't fit properly. But...the saddle is now headed out west as it was purchased by Ellis's son. I'm sad to see it go, but glad it will end up back in the Barnes family after all these years. Edited March 10, 2009 by MyGalAl Quote
