jegenes Report post Posted July 9, 2017 Hi, all, I'm looking to find a decent stitch horse. Trouble is, I'm in New Zealand, and they seem to be rare as hens teeth here. So, I'm looking to find one of the following: 1) a stitch horse somewhere here in NZ 2) one from Australia, the USA, or even the UK that could be taken apart and shipped here in a box 3) decent plans for one, in order to have someone make one (and nope, not the plans from the old farm machinery book.. I have that book) Best would be to find something that could be broken down and shipped here, but I'm up for anything. I was a saddlemaker in New Mexico for many years, so I know my way around a stitch horse and want to find a decent one. Even if the seat and legs aren't in great shape, as long as the jaws and the metal draw-down teeth are usable, I'd be okay with it. I can always make another seat. Thanks a lot. best, --john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jegenes Report post Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks for that link, Mattsbagger. Not exactly what I'm looking for, but I might go ahead and buy his plans anyway, just in case. Really wanting a classic old style stitch horse with a foot lever, preferably with deep jaws for saddle skirts. Thanks again. best, --john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
