This is a custom reining saddle, should be done by end of this week. 

Features Mincer conchos and hardware, border stamped with oak tooling, on chocolate Wickett & Craig skirting.Black Elephant inlaid seat, Roo buckstitching, and Orrell 3" flatbottoms in curly cedar to finish off. Already designed, made and delivered - matching breastcollar, headstall, spur straps. New chaps will also be made to go with the set. Now, if he can just get back in the show pen... Covid has no friends!

Eye candy!  The design of the tooling flows well. Makes our jumping saddles look like a sofa.

A dream of mine would be to go to work as an apprentice or at least a hangaround for a saddle and custom leather shop.   And when I see these great works, I wished I was closer to retirement so I can find such shops to be that hangaround guy!

Shelly,

Very attractive saddle.  Questions: conchos from Mincer, do you order directly from them?  Design and measurements for the breast collar in your upper photos, are you willing to share your pattern?  One last question: from where do you order your W&C skirting?

Thanks for any information you can offer.  Keep up the good work.

Ron

Beautiful Artistry ! Im making some braided wristbands (Mystery Braid) and see you also enjoy Braiding. What would you recommend for those Bracelets that are worn day in day out? Mine seem to just get dry instead of a natural sheen from useage. Take care and thank you.

I love how copper hardware and leather compliment each other.

The carving is in very good taste as well.
