Contstruction

Here's how I made the saddle in this post.

I used Rio Rondo's alternative pattern and picked the Dropped Front Rigging assembly.

Then I cut out the pieces

and tooled it. Then I outlined it with a black marker. Afterwards I dyed it with a chestnut color.

Assembling it was pretty easy.

Using  Riversong Musing's  how-to on movable fenders I made, well, movable fenders.

Afterwards, a piece of chamois was added and trimmed.

And well as you know, here's the result. With the stirrups.
