I will post a letter of appreciation to Staci and Melinda on their website. These ladies are A++. They are professional and absolutely know their saddle building art. Staci and Melinda (and their artisan saddle builder(s) ) made a perfect-fit, gorgeous Western Trail saddle for my short-backed, no-withered Rocky Mountain mare. It is perfect. Well worth waiting for and worth every penny. We love it. Now, can they make it stop raining so we can ride??!!!
