Not to beat a dead headless goat here but it's strange how things often travel in groups. Tonight I was over at a friend's house having a cocktail, another friend, a film maker, was also there and said his latest film was selected in three film festivals around the country. One being The Big Sky Documentary Film Festival in Missoula. I lived in Missoula for a few years back in the day. I go home and search on Big Sky Festival site for his film and the first link I click on is another film about Buzkashi..this one is a feature length. I can't believe the ferocity of the sport. It's pure craziness.

I just delivered this completed saddle to a member of the USA Polocrosse team last weekend. I am really happy with this one.

Wow! That rawhide really shines and the fits looks great! Did you add an extra flap of leather under the fenders this time?

JD,

Thank you very much. Yes I did ad the extra leather. And the rear jockey. This saddle is actually the same one as pictured at the top of the page. I took it apart and remade it. CSST could not get me a 16" tree fast enough for me to be comfortable with the deadline. So I "bit the bullet" , remade it and met the deadline with three weeks to spare. It was a bummer to go backwards a bit,but I gained an extemely happy Customer. Everbody loves it when you tell them you will be finished earlier than quoted.

Very nice! How do you stitch your bindings so the stitch is hidden? it makes for a really clean look. Did you end up using drum dyed leather for those or did you dye them?

Best regards, Josh
