It’s me, Paige from Albuquerque, NM.  I cannot tell you enough how thrilled I am with the custom saddle you and Paul helped create for me.  I’ve had numerous custom saddles over the years and while I’ve always taken my time to communicate my needs and those of my horses, somehow the saddles—although beautiful---were always a “off” either in the seat fitting for me or a misfit for my horses.  I’ve continued to search over the years for saddle after saddle.  Well, the search had ended.  Words cannot express not only how beautiful the saddle is but how perfectly it fits me and my horses.  It has a wonderful seat and a comfortable close contact.  Thank you so much for all the details you allowed me to share with you as we went back and forth building this saddle. I’ve always been a believer that one cannot master just the skill of saddle making without truly understanding the art of riding as well.  Many saddle makers don’t really have a lifestyle amid horses and therefore cannot truly perfect how to fit a saddle to both the person and the horse; but you all have definitely succeeded in that.  And I so glad our paths crossed.  Thanks again…oh and now that my husband has seen the saddle in person, he is extremely excited about the cutting saddle you are going to custom build for him.  Take care and many thanks.
