Seminar On Trees

[Rod and Denise Nikkel]

Thanks Tommy. That would probably be one of the best venues for something like this we figure. We actually have been in contact with them, as early as 2007. So far they don't seem interested...

Somewhere like the National Western Stock Show in Denver would be ideal. It's a huge event and while coupling the seminar with something like that, people would be more inclined to travel. I love your website and it's very informative. I also think a collaberative effort with a master saddler would also be great. I regularly run into discussions about "tweaking" trees by adding leather to accommodate irregularies in horses. It would be great to have a better understanding of what falls under the realm of the tree maker and the maker when designing a custom saddle. When to adjust. When not to. How to account for changes in a horse over its lifetime. For example, you're building a saddle for a 3 year old. How to you account for changes in it's body to give the longest use for the saddle without soring the horse.
