Well Ryan, if your saddle is No. 2, I would hate to compete against No. 1.  For only your second saddle, it looks amazing.  Your tooling looks well planned, and your swivel knife work is great.  Tooling the back of the cantle is difficult at best, but you nailed it.  I like how you stitched the flank cinch billet buckle holes; makes it look professional.  The  three judges are talented saddle makers, and you can trust what they said to be really good advice.  Keep up the good work.

Very impressive Ryan!  Really like your tooling and the clean lines!

Quality of this saddle definitely shows that we are in the 'Golden Age' of craftsmanship!

Congratulations, Ryan! 

Beautiful work. It looks great. Unfortunately, I am not a specialist in horses and saddles, but I am sure that your saddle will last a long time and will please its owner!
