emma Report post Posted November 20, 2008 Thank you all for your very kind comments. Will try and attach some pictures of the English side saddles i have restored and i will be starting an English side saddle from scratch next year so will have some pictures of that next year. I am loving learning about western saddles although there is limited knowledge over here when it comes to western saddles. We do seem to have more people riding western but not so many western saddle makers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever considered incorporating the webbed seat of the English saddle on a Western saddle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emma Report post Posted December 19, 2008 Funny you should say that! someone has been asking me to make a kinda cross breed saddle basically an english saddle on a western tree. i dont know if it would work? i can see the good points of both english and western saddles and think in theory it would be great to combine them but i am not sure that there is a cross over that would actually work and produce a nice saddle......maybe one day when i have time i'll have a try!
