I should have taken some pics. of it at Equine Affaire, but I was having too much fun just visiting with you guys.

Sdlpal, notice it is on the horse being used. Just don't think I want to get it all muddy and scratch the heck out of it on the trail.:w2  Cleaning mud & junk out of the tooling with a toothbrush is very time consuming. The one Brenda has now is an endurance with western fenders. It looks very Spanish/western, it's just gorgeous! Would look great on a Paso....

That is one sharp saddle. I would love to have one in the western style. Of course I am not the kind of person to buy something and put it on the shelf! I would have to use it!

The "tool master" at CCi made another floral saddle for us, this one an endurance with fenders.  We don't have pics of it yet, but as soon as we do, we'll let you all drool over it!

Thank you for the compliments! I always drooled over the silver encrusted saddles that the Lone Ranger, Gene Autry, and Roy Rogers used. This is as close as I'll get to having something like that, but actually it's better. The 4-beat has such wonderful engineering built into it that none of those old parade saddles can match.

I have to say too that the gentleman who did the tooling at CCI is so very skilled. It is flawless carving and stamping. I am so very grateful to Brenda to have this work of art--THANK YOU!:lv1 :

Your TWH is beautiful and the saddle is just awesome! I love the finishing touches and especially the silver on the pencil roll. That is one great saddle with the chrome :)

It is so unique especially since you did some things to make it one of a kind. I know you are proud to have it.

No no, this was done by the saddlemakers at CCI. You may recall that Brenda offered one of these saddles for sale on the homepage some time back. When I finally had the funds together I called Jake and they had just sold it like a week before so they had another one made just for me. (I just love them for that!:tu1 :.)

I added a concho to each stirrup and had the cantle done. I wonder who ended up getting the first one and how they like it:t2 :. I just love mine and had to share.:D

I love that feature! So, is this all your own tooling, too? I ask because I don't recall a tooled endurance being offered. It's very unique.

Thanks, that is our 14.2 TWH. Whatta, yes that is German Silver. I had a guy that makes/restores silver parade saddles put that on. Really makes it POP!

I was telling Brenda about it at EA and didn't have any pics to show her. Doubt I'll ever take it on the trail, but it sure catches your eye going down the road.

That is so beautiful. Is the pencil roll metal?
