Members AndyKnight Posted March 15, 2010 Members Report Posted March 15, 2010 Here is the saddle that won the Art of the west show in Kamloops BC. Ryan Cope recieved 2nd runner up with a great saddle. Will try and get better pics later. Darcy Sorry you didn't make it... The outcome may have been different.!! Chuck Stormes judged this competition and it was great to have him go over the saddles with the individual entrants. Quote Andy knight Visit My Website

Members RWB Posted March 15, 2010 Members Report Posted March 15, 2010 Cool saddle, Andy. Like the strings and fork. Neat ideas. Did you rawhide the tree at all, or is it just straight varnished hardwood? Ross Quote Ross Brunk www.nrcowboygear.com
Members TroyWest Posted March 15, 2010 Members Report Posted March 15, 2010 I'm guessing its glass covered. Nice clean work Andy. Congratulations, Troy Quote
Members D.A. Kabatoff Posted March 15, 2010 Members Report Posted March 15, 2010 Andy, thanks for the photos... sure wish I could have made it up to the show! Congratulations on your saddle as well as the Joe Marten award. For anyone who doesn't know, the Joe Marten award is given to someone who has been influential in the promotion and/or preservation of Cowboy / Western Heritage in the Province of BC... Andy was presented with the award at the Kamloops Cowboy festival this year. If you have any other photos from the show, i'd sure like to see them. Congratulations Ryan, love to see the saddle you had there as well. Darcy Quote

Members RyanCope Posted March 15, 2010 Members Report Posted March 15, 2010 Congrats Andy on two beautiful entries. Great show. Also, thank you to Chuck Stormes. One on one critique with Mr. Stormes is priceless, in my opinion. I hope to see some of you here next year. Second weekend of March. Kamloops is a fun place. I'll post some pics when I get back to the states. Ryan Quote
