Item description from seller

Pages are clean and tight; this is a NEW book. Extensively illustrated with b/w photos and diagrams/drawings. Originally published in 1975; this reprint is from 1993. ".this book, a permanent record of the craft of saddle making. Using only hand tools and traditional methods he demonstrates step-by-step how a saddle is made without recourse to machinery of any kind. The text is clearly written throughout, and complemented with both photos and line illustrations showing the various stages of manufacture." A well made saddle, comfortable for horse and rider, make riding a joy for both the rider and the horse. A poorly made and ill-fitting one can create misery and a multitude of problems, besides causing permanent damage to the horse. Fascinating look at a craft that has in many respects changed little over the centuries. ; B&W Illustrations; 5 3/4 x 8 1/4; 80 pages.
