Congratulations to John and Sandra Heeb, and Gaye and Warren Ellis for winning the Gympie Horse & Rodeo Association Team Penning Buckle Series for 2012. WELL DONE! I am so stoked that you all ride in Ian's saddles and can compete successfully and ride happily in them. You guys are really awesome and I know that sounds cheezy but its true!

This saddle has been made for me! I needed something to start reining in as my old pleasure saddle, whilst being lovely for pleasure, wasn't right for me when I started to go a bit faster. So here is a custom Blue Creek Reining Saddle. 15 3/4" inch seat that has been inlaid with black ostrich leather. Rough-out seat and fenders and hand carved 'diaz' roses on the swell and jockeys. Twisted fenders and lined with genuine fleece. Ian's also used Jeremiah Watt hardware which just looks so fantastic. To ride in, it is amazingly comfortable and sits me right where I need to be. I haven't had a sore butt at all even though it is brand new. I'm so lucky to have this awesome saddle maker as my hubby!! For more pictures, please click here.

New Premier Campdrafter

Here is a picture of our 'new' Premier Campdrafter. I say new because it has been re-disgned (tweaked really...) with the generous help of Peter Glenwright. The Premier offers you freedom of movement, the ability to get up and out of the saddle without restriction but still have the capability to suck down behind the pads and get your leg forward. The close contact seat is now also slightly wider for real comfort. The best of all worlds!
