AZThunderPony Report post Posted July 20, 2007 Okay.. I know you guys are gonna pull your hair out. But I have this idea and want to pass it by the Pros. I have been thinking I need a secondary business to develop over the next few years. I am now a Massage Therapist (4 years) and was a Natural Horsemanship Horse Trainer (following my own system), and Futurity Halter trainer of Arabs, QH's Appy's, Paints, as as well showed Paso Finos for several years totaling some 35 or more years. I'm thinking of starting up some kind of saddle business. specialty saddles for specialty breeds. Not making them (OH NO WAY!), but ordering them made and having them available, looking for used ones that have already been tried and tested, etc.. Gathering them up and advertising them to the public If I can learn the Tree Makers well enough and if there was some way to identify a special design tree in a certain saddle (research owner trail back to Saddle Makers)...... Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go2Tex Report post Posted July 20, 2007 Yeah, kinda like the Steele Saddles for gaited horses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZThunderPony Report post Posted July 21, 2007 Ah not exactly what I had in mind. Again I have a bit more progressive approach. I was coming from folks having trees made with special dimensions for this horse or that. Or maybe having trees made for this set of dimension or that, that folks could have a saddle made on. I guess in some ways its the same. But I already know that Steele doesnt come close to what I am thinking. It would take some open minded and talented tree makers though. Apparantly I have not thought it through enough to post the concept. But I'll work on it. S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
