Boreas' Classic 3B

 

vaquero 3B saddleThis saddle is a little bit plain because halfway into it I hurt my shoulder badly and couldn't finish it, but I wanted my delightful customer Christina to have it as soon as possible. I had finished the parts that had to be done by me - the ground seat, the cantleback tooling and some of the border tooling - and was fortunate to get my friend and excellent saddlemaker, Leah Kemner at Horseshoe Saddlery, to step in and finish the cantle binding, horn wrap, and assembly for me. She did her special scalloped cantle binding which makes the saddle look fabulous from the back, but it is a little bit plain on the seat and fork.

Even so, the saddle rides well. According to Christina, "Every single time I ride in your saddle, I am SO HAPPY! Seriously, I need to make it fit every one of my horses and if it doesn't, Ill need another one. EVERYTHING is easier in your saddle."
