Great looking saddle Dave, nothing wrong with that! Well done. Now you just have to carve a horse to put it on and get directions on which end faces forward!

Dave ,
Nice job. I like high back cantels. The older saddles had high backs, the crossing between the english ridding saddle and the western saddle caused the lower back on saddles. But the higher back gives a much firmer seat and you can still see this on many saddles deep seats are great especially on a working saddle.
