Cut an eye-catching dash at your next Rodeo with these sparkly stars on a quality black leather hide belt.
Press stud end so the buckle is easily removable if you want to swap it for something a little less 'jazzy' at the office.
Cut to length and holes punched while you wait.

$50 each

I'm happy to post for $10 or free post for two.

I seem to have had a run of these flap repairs recently.
Kinda nice though to take a really tatty saddle and have it go out looking tidy and ready to work again.

A few of the repairs, alterations and bits n pieces that have been through in the last couple of weeks.
All slotted in between the usual ongoing rug repairs mountain and several custom made bridle work items that have kept me very busy at the bench recently.

Some saddles in and pulled apart for checking and maintenance.

This was a pretty bridle to make up, with a contrast padding to match with the piping colour on their saddle.
No getting confused in the tack room with who's bridle is who's there.

This dry and dusty weather is hard on leather equipment.
Treat your precious tack to a spa day with Danehill's gorgeous leather balm.
In three very yummy scents, it smells so delicious you might have to remind yourself it's for looking after the leather, not licking!
I have a few tins in the workshop this week if you would like to call in for some.
$25 each.

Set up and ready at the Chiltern Heritage Rally by the Railway station.
I'll be demo-ing some stitching and there are belts and dog collars available.
Steam engines of all sizes, assorted vehicles and a collection of interesting stalls here, with the Goods Sheds open for the doll museum and the model railway displays.
So come and say 'Hi'

The importance of buckle guards
This poor saddle has lost its buckle guards some time ago. And the resulting damage to the unprotected flaps is quite severe.
After some creative tidy layering to patch the flaps it looks pretty again and is ready to go back out to play.

For anyone who likes the look of this saddle, it will be up for sale shortly.
It's a Thorowgood 17.5" jump saddle
Adjustable gullet plates
Wool flocked panels.
These saddles tend to fit horses quite well.
This one is best suited to a taller rider with a long femur.

Message me for more pictures and info

(And yes, it will come with buckle guards!)

So after a lovely few days away, I'll be back in the workshop (mostly) this week.
And organising myself to have a stand, demonstrating saddlery, at the Chiltern Heritage Rally next Sunday, 18th May.
So come on down and say 'Hi'
