Two-tone Southwestern-style Western Pleasure Saddle and Matching Bridle Set
This saddle was actually made for my husband. A few years ago, I made another saddle for him but accidentally "sold" it. Ever since it's sale, he's been asking for another one, so I came up with this saddle set. This saddle set is a western pleasure saddle set featuring Hand etched, real silver plates on the saddle; hand dyed black southwestern design along the edge and on the jockeys and fenders. The green crystals on the plates are Real Swarovski crystals. The bridle has real silver beads and real swarovski crystals. The breast collar also has a hand etched real silver plate with a green swarovski crystal. This saddle set remains in the "collection" of my husband and I'm not even allowed to take it out of the house! <G>

Western Roping Saddle Set
This set was made in 2006 for Kay Callahan. I researched this set quite a bit and I was helped out greatly by Kathy Jaeggi who actually ropes! This set features double rigging, heavy cinches and a heavy breast collar and comes complete with hand braided tie down noseband, boots with working tongued buckles and two ropes! (One with wire and one without).
