Considering a DIY saddle...Possible journal.

Yippie!!!
Out for delivery in my town.


I mention " in my town", because sometimes it's out for delivery in a town several hours away.... =/ And then it might not get here until nightfall or the next morning.

Your saddle is coming right along! Out for delivery here means 9:00 PM or later. LOL

Arrived at 3pm...I'm less than a third of a mile from the PO...hah.
I was putting up temporary snowfence to keep ewes away from neighbor when the box arrived, so didn't get to it until 4pm.

Got the back dees installed. Front dees are on, sewn together, but still need to sew the twist in the webbing. I ended up looping the webbing up over the rise and not through the fender slot.

Pictures of it on my pony tomorrow.

Ready to test out.
I'll probably have to cut n melt more holes in the straps.
May also need kid sized stirrup webbers...
Will find out in the AM.

Snowing, so no pics.

40, sunny and dry tomorrow, so I'll test it then!

Still wearing my big mud boots, so I didn't hop up.
He didn't really react to the back cinch.
Need to work on the seat cover, they only sold blue or red stadium cushions.

What do you all think??

By Golly it looks like a saddle. You did a great job!

He looks happy with it. You will have to check it out for comfort too!
Question, did you put a connecting strap from the front cinch to the rear one to keep the rear one from sliding?
