Last night I was Arena Director and Chute Boss at the Hamilton International Rodeo in the Claudelands Arena in New Zealand, I recognised these Chaps on a young Saddle bronc rider and walked up to him and said`` Elton Joorisity made those Chaps ``, he replied that that was right and that Elton had also made his Bronc saddle. He then inquired as to how I knew this, and it was with some pride that I told him of the many hours I have spent on this site admiring and striving to emulate some of the skills exhibited here. Elton it was a priviledge to view and touch your beautiful workmanship, your attention to detail and the skill required to get such perfection and finish is unsurpassed and I salute your incredible ability. As you will know I am referring to the Chaps owned by Kerry La Valley.

Thank you very much Gary!! Funny part to that story...Kerry's bronc saddle may not be coming home with him, one of the boys down there really wants to buy it (or a new one). I told Kerry he's better off to sell the one he has and I'd build him a new one rather than ship one over there from Canada.

Thank you again for your kind words and for recognizing my work so far from home!!
