Hi there! Awesome leather work, great job! Could you tell me how long the skirts are from front to back? Thank you for your time.

Hi Jess, The skirts measure 28 inches after they are blocked and formed to the bars of the tree. I make ladies saddles a little shorter for lighter weight or as requested. KV

[JessWilliam]

Thanks for the info. I'm also making a wade saddle right now, the skirts will be around 31" long, seems to be as short as I can get it, Do you think that is too long for most horses?

Do you have any saddle making video's?

Thanks

Jess

if the skirts are blocked and formed so that they dont bind on the horses back 31 inches is not too long, most saddle blankets are 32 inches so it will still have padding, but thats getting a littl far back over the horses kidneys, thats why they need to be blocked and formed up or flared up. Especially for the shorter back Quarter Horse. I am working on putting together a Saddle Making DVD, I hope to have done in the very near future. Hope this info helps. KV

Fantstic! I love the tooling on it. I just finished restoring a Longhorn Show Saddle.

Some of the best inventiveness I've seen from the point of design, nice balance and variation........too often not the case. I liked the flowers very much, if there is difficulty in this style of work it seems to be finding leaf designs that dont end up looking unconvincing Congratulations guys and also for the great salsa band............who were they?
