Skirts: Small, rounded back skirts offer the horse contoured flexibility in the loin area.
Tooling: Hand stamped border patterns or spot toolings from NHS Tooling Collection on fork, seat jockey, skirts and fenders.

Individual leather surface textures (due to heredity, environment and tanning processes for each hide) result in unique properties effecting the appearance of individual saddles. Possible irregularities offer opportunities for our tooling artisans to be a bit creative in disguising texture differences of various areas. Adding some extra floral carving or slight alterations of a pattern are among ways to insure best mirroring of design from one side of the saddle to the other. Our toolers are excellent craftspeople. You can count on a beautiful result and celebrate your saddle’s individuality!
