My Next Saddles

[GianniWest]

After the first project,

I would like to try a Wade saddle and a Reining saddle. Can anyone tell me where can I find a DVD or instructions to build a reining saddle?

Thank you very much

A reining saddle construction wise is no different than any other saddle.....they just have parts that are shaped differently and use a different tree.

Certainly, these are structural differences that I'd like to understand. I wonder if there is something that can help me?

Thank you

THE big difference (i 've come to pin point) is :

In-skirt rigging for whatever style of saddle (reining, barrel, cutting...)

versus

(Montana ) Flate plates for Roping saddles

This is THE BIG STRUCTURAL difference

The rest....is all about fashion and trainning , and trying and liking or not

Why don't you buy Al Stholman 's encyclopedias?

there are a lot of useful infos in thoses

I have the encyclopedia of Stohlman, and it is very interesting.

But I'd like to know the characteristics of the Lesone, very fashionable among the Reiner. I hope to get one to fix, so I can study

Thank you Aurelie
