I was sent a resin to paint with the owner saying that there would be 'a little' prepwork to do. When he got here, there was so much extra resin attached to that poor horse that you could've probably made
another one from it! I was slightly overwhelmed by the prospect of tackling such a project with my hand tools, and so sent him to Anne for her to work with. When I got him back, the transformation was incredible! He was stunning! He was completely prepped, with not a seam to be noticed anywhere, and not a trace of the mess that he once
was encased in. I would definately send more resins to her for prepwork... she does an absolutely fantastic job. Thank you, Anne!!

I have a collection of only Arabian resins and wanted to get some thing "special"--not too stock horse like but yet I did not need another rounded skirt western saddle. I contacted Anne and asked if she might be up to the challenge. In the past I had talked to other tack artists and no one could "get" what I was really wanting. When I told Anne what I was looking for she was instantly on the job!

She promptly mailed me samples of her tooling patterns and photos of sets that she thought I might get some ideas from. I was floored.. no waiting two months for some one to follow up! She had not only several wonderful options to choose from but also different styles of dying and tooling the leather. I broke out my Rio Rondo catalog and emailed her right away with my ideas about the silver and which pattern for the tooling I preferred. She got right back to me with a price quote (very fair considering what I was asking for) and stuck to her schedule/time frame she told me it would take to get the project completed.

When my package from Anne arrived it far exceeded any expectation I had. I took my brand-new saddle set to a live show that very weekend, using it on my Minuet Resin. Not only did my Minuet blow away the competition in Open Custom WP but she took Western Performance Champion as well as Overall Grand Champion of Show! I cannot tell you how many people came up to me at the show and asked "Who made that saddle?"

A heartfelt thank you to Anne for not only making some thing truly special for my tack collection but for sticking to her word and getting the saddle out as promised and in time for my show.

"My favorite tackmaker!" "The details on the tack is amazing...looks just like the real thing!" "The tiny details are stunning-and the tack is durable and easy to adjust!" And one comment a professional tack maker made on the WP set you made me...."Gee honey-that looks just like the saddles I make!" I could go on and on...I love your work, and can't get enough of it. My hope one of these days is to get another WP set done by you with ALL the bells and whistles on it. I have more saddles by you (and I have alot!) than by any other tackmaker. You are my fave, and I hope one day to have half the talent you do. And you have not only provided me with beautiful tack-you have also given me "real life" tips on what tack to use for certain events, and how the tack should be set up.

I think this gaming saddle made all the difference in the world in my live show placings and I am 100% delighted with it! It is accurate and made just like the real thing. Its also fits correctly and is very easy to put on which is important for all the tack changes necessary to showing one horse in a series of Western performance classes. Ann is delightful to deal with and aims to please her customers and she certainly succeeded!
