Welcome to the "Ramblings of a Saddle Maker"

Every blog has its own format which determines its personality. The idea of a blog is to get people interested in what you have to say, stimulating feedback and hopefully creating an information center where the open-minded can learn more about the things they are interested in.

If you are not open-minded you should steer clear of this one. What you will read here is the well researched ramblings of a saddle maker.

I will try to post a topic every week from case files I have kept over the years highlighting many of the "silly" ideas about saddles and tack horse owners seem to have embedded in their minds. Once a month I will get serious and post a thought provoking essay that relates to saddle design and some of the myths that equestrians have been subjected to by the industry over the years.

It only makes sense to start the blog rolling by discussing why we put so much time and effort into designing a TRAIL SADDLE.

Check February 1 for my first post to find out about trail saddle design!
