3B Saddle For Traveller

[Billy H]

Darcy, that's a pretty saddle.

I agree with Steve-- 3Bs look cool and looks great on that horse. Billy

I'd be proud to have the saddle shown at the Kamloops Cowboy Festival! Aren't all the saddles new, though? I plan to take excellent care of my Kabatoff saddle but it won't look fresh off the bench for long.

...Maybe we need to ask Andy how many points I'd lose for entering a used saddle (Andy Knight is this years judge). Andy?

EXCELLENT work as always!!!!!

I keep coming back to look at this saddle. I really like the simpleness of it and yet it is still very classy looking. Less is more sometimes! Great job!

A quick update: I took this saddle cattle penning on Sunday and was amazed at how much better I sat the horse, and how much better the horse moved on the cows. I wasn't riding my own horse (the appaloosa in the photo) - he's decent on cows but doesn't really have the training. Instead I ride a horse that belongs to a cowboy friend of mine. I've been riding this horse for over a year now and this was by far the best he has ever been under me.

I give the saddle full credit! Plus it looks darned good, too.

Thanks, Darc!

oops... double post... I must be extra excited about my penning runs!

Billie,

I think 3b trees are cool looking too, I used to lean towards Wades and Taylor type trees but over time preferred the refined look of the 3b.

Aurelie,

thanks for the comment, keep up the good work on your own saddle. The first few can be frustrating but stick with it, as you become more familiar with each task that goes into building a saddle the whole process becomes more enjoyable.

Mudman,

haven't seen you around lately, good to see you are still around!

JHayek,

thanks for the comment, Although I appreciate fully carved saddles, I'm perhaps more inspired by saddlemakers who can make a saddle attractive based solely on the lines of the saddle and the cleaness of their work.

Joanne,

Thanks again for the comments and I'm glad it's working the way you want it to. Say hi to Gene for me.
