After the saddles seen on the previous page, I hadn't done an english set for a while, so I just went all out when I did the next one, which is the first shown below. It turned out to be by far the very nicest saddle I've done! It's had the works - suede kneeroles, d-rings, extra stirrup leather and keepers, just too cool! Then I decided to stop doing the first type of english sets (first page) and continue doing them all the nicest I could. This of course meant changes the prices, but I think it's worth it. They are extremely realistic, which is what I strive for in all my tack, and want to keep it that way!
(The 2nd new type english set is shown on the main page on Serengeti)
