Latest Saddle Off The Bench

[BondoBobCustomSaddles]

Shown is the latest saddle out of my shop. It was made for a 13 year old that shows an Arab. Since this young lady has some growing to do, I made the stirrups with a lot of adjustment, starting with where she is now, to about 8 additional inches of leg growth. that necessitated a slightly lower seat jockey than usual to allow that adjustment without having the fender hanging out below the jockey in a couple of years. This is a 14 1/2" seat, as she is an will likely continue to be a slender girl even after she finishes growth. It is made on a bowman tree with Arab bars, and a youth horn. It has an insert padded, std cantle with exposed stitching on the binding. In-skirt rigging, skirts are cut-out to facilitated closer leg contact and full tooling. Please feel free to critique.

The rider should be delighted to ride in this saddle, Bob.

I think it is just awesome, . . . especially since I prefer a seat like it.

May God bless,

Great job, Bob! I really like the color. What is it? Your tooling looks nice as well. What leather did you use and is that real sheep skin? I think your customer will be delighted with the way it turned out.

Great work!
