Saddle Rigging Hardware

[Kelloggkid]

I have a customer that has requested this type of hardware that looks like a "W".  

Anybody know what the correct name and where to buy it?

Try this "Flat Plate Open Three-Way".  I'm no saddle expert at all, but found it at http://www.saddleonline.com/blogs/content/different-styles-western-saddle-rigging Did a Google searched for "saddle rigging ring dee plate" trying to catch the different terms I have seen.

Also found this.  It references 3 way plate and a source.

And take a look at the bottom picture on this page.  They may be able to tell you where they source them. http://www.madisonsaddlery.com/saddle.html

I think Borks has it.  Regarding the design itself:  it's a good theory, but that's a lot of metal, and it really makes for a large, rigid area under the rider's leg, and on the side of the horse.
