Greetings to all - I don't pretend to know anything about saddle making or even horses for that matter - BUT - I'm going to build a saddle anyway - Attached is a photo of my first "horse" I plan on building a saddle for - the level of detail will not be authentic, but the look of it will be, as well as being removable. I can build anything so I'm not scared, just a little foolish ? At any rate - as it progresses I will update w/ more photos. Just wanted to say Hi to everyone. " Hi " My plans are for an English style saddle due to the size of the horse - (the finished saddle will be smaller than 1/2 a football) When I do a larger version I plan on doing a traditional western style saddle from scratch - Yes, I realize I have much to learn -

Yes, I did the horse== 1/2" multi core plywood laminated, then carve away everything that "isn't a horse" 1st attempt - saw a picture online and had to build one - after finishing they are absolutely beautiful ! (you can buy the "kits" online for 360 pounds, or a "finished" horse complete for around 2000 pounds) 1 pound = 1.64 usd

I can't wait either - what you see is about 50 hours work
