Artist Reply: Loving horses as I do, great saddles come a close second. This was made in Mexico and has such finite work on it. Beautiful shaped and hadn't been on the back of a horse yet. But I bet yearning to be strapped on. Thank you for your kindness and bless the Lovely Latino artisan that built the saddle. Thanks so much, Jessica. Michael

Artist Reply: I have had a few friends in the Southwest and one in Chicago who were Saddle makers. They had unusual habits that caused them to have all that peace withing them to do all the stampwork and longterm molding of the leather. I have also seen beautiful saddles in Mexico. Elegant, for a king. My friends that used to build saddles cleaned up and had a hard time sitting still for that long anymore. Funny, but true. My thanks to you my dear friend. Michael
