This is the Western Pleasure saddle set I did for Annette Dean.  It looks super on her bay Cm.

Lots of detail went into this saddle set.

This is one of my favorite saddles. I hope you enjoyed seeing it too.

I thought I'd share with you up close pics of the doll I made for Kate.  She wanted a doll and western pleasure set to complement her beautiful Palomino.  So we worked with the rich color tones of the greens and true white. 

A rear view of the doll and saddle.

The saddle set is in a natural finish, it shows off the tooling nicely.

Here is the finished look, I had a gal make the saddle pad to match the outfit.  A winning set for sure.

Curb chain with silver buckles.

I'm very happy with this set.

This is a larger resin, Ashley needed a saddle set for a Ruby Keno.
I didn't have a Ruby on hand so I used this gorgeous gal to help out with the fitting.



                                   " Tear Drop Parade Saddle"

Parade set for Bernard George.



Romal reins by Shannon Granger, they are simple beautiful.

This is a new design using the Tear Drops.

Rear view.

It's hard to see the pattern, my camera is getting old, but if you can make it out it is a oak leaf.

I used plumbers tape on the Tapaderos. I don't like to use this a lot it tends to crack.  So I tell my customers to be very careful with it.

The bit here is from RioRondo, it is a nice heavy bit with the bar between the bits.

The hip piece is made for this Arabian mold which has a very short back and croop.  The tail piece is the round black leather with small buckles to finish the look.

The side view of the right side.

The corona pad is made by Lori Batchelor.  She does very nice work.

 I hope you like the new set for Bernard,  I trust he'll do well in the shows, he has a CMPS Arabian stallion to show it with.  Maybe he'll send me some pics to post.
