CitizenKate Report post Posted April 30, 2008 That is so cool! Really gives some substance to the idea of an "iron horse". Thanks for sharing your inspiration. Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSwede Report post Posted April 30, 2008 Sweet stuff Beeze! On occasion I do like to look at a stitched seat, seems like you're just as good with the 'ol awl n' needle as the lacing. This seat really rocks with that beautiful floral and those poppin letters! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Theobald LOL! i posted it kinda late. the horse does send out one notice. i had gotten mine and forgot about it. don't it figure this was the issue that mine stoped coming. i ended up ordering it as a back order but, you can usually fine it locally in walmart ect...
