Making a custom western saddle

Sun, 13 May 2012 00:44:28 +0000

www.aafke-art.com I have trained as a westernsaddle maker. It started off with me wanting the perfect saddle for my horse The Tarq. But I wanted to do the carving myself. So I learned leathercarving. And why not learn leather sowing as well? and in the end I trained as a saddler. In this slideshow I show th Tarq being measured, and the tree fitted, and some of the stages of making the saddle. The saddle is very tough and has endured many hardships. It keeps looking better the more use it gets! The music is ghostriders in the sky, by Johnnie Cash

Mick Dittman: The Enforcer

]]>

Queenslander, Leonard Ross Dittman, known as Mick Dittman didn't take long to become one of Australia's champion jockeys with an outstanding career record. Known as 'The Enforcer' because of his use of the whip, Dittman dominated Australian race tracks in partnership with trainer, late T. J. Smith, a formidable combination that rewrote many chapters in horse racing history. Dittman began his racing career on the Gold Coast as an apprentice with Bill Kraft in the mid-1960s. As an apprentice, Dittman's first triumph was on Red Shah in the 1968 Gold Coast Newmarket. The taste of victory was too tempting for 'The Enforcer' who soon steered Makata in the very next year to the winning post in the Ipswich Cup. His final years as an apprentice with Patt Duff in Brisbane was the beginning of a glorious adventure on the tracks with his first Group 1 win on Knee High in the 1972 Doomben Cup. Dittman made sure he dominated Brisbane racing . The big southern carnivals were his lucky charm with a record six winners as well as a second place at in a special program at Eagle Farm in November 1976. Dittman's never say die attitude continued in the 1980s in Sydney in a partnership with Tommy Smith, in whose stable he became the top rider. The Smith-Dittman duo brought home three Sydney premierships which formed the basis of one of the most formidable combinations in Australian horse racing history. Winning 88 Group 1 races is no small feat for Dittman whose penchant for winning resulted in a total of 1700 victories which included the Melbourne Cup in 1982 where he collared the 'King', Kingston Town, in the shadows of the post to take Gurner's Lane home by a 1/2 head. Among the other memorable wins in the saddle are three Golden Slippers, two Cox Plates, and a Caulfield Cup. Angus Armanasco trainer of Full On Aces was the colt that brought home Dittman his very first Golden Slipper in 1981, followed by yet another victory in 1986 with the T. J Smith trained Bounding Away. Chestnut filly Bint Marscay trained by L. Freedman handed him his third Golden Slipper Stakes in the year of 1993. Strawberry Road and Red Anchor were the two horses that won him Cox Plates while he rode Sydeston home in the Caulfield Cup. Had Dittman forayed onto the race tracks overseas, it doesn't take much of an imagination to figure out what his record would have turned out to be, especially along with T. J. Smith. His love for his native Queensland made him entertain only interstate mounts during the big carnivals. A mangnificent horse racing career with more than 1700 wins can not go unnoticed. Mick Dittman, undoubtedly, was inducted into Australia's Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 2002. Dittman hung up his racing boots to become a bloodstock agent in Singapore. This is not before setting up his son, Luke Dittman, to continue his rich legacy. Gamblers at Eagle Farm Racecourse have the 1000 metres Mick Dittman Plate to wager on as a tribute to Mick Dittman, 'The Enforcer'.

Vegan horse gear, any ideas?

Fri, 04 May 2012 20:08:01 +0000

Any vegan riders out there? I'm not vegan, but could possibly be one day. Evidently horseback riding gear isn't vegan and horseback riding/horses are my passion. Do you know of any stores that sell vegan horseback riding gear (boots/maybe tack?)/tips for vegan riders in general?

Horse Saddle Buying Guide

Wed, 02 May 2012 18:39:57 +0000

For the most comfortable ride on a horse you should buy a saddle to sit on. The saddle goes over the horses back and distributes your weight. Having a saddle fitted properly on your horse is essential for both horse and riders sake.

There are a number of different saddles you can buy that are designed for specific purposes. Generally there are English Riding saddles and Western saddles. Determine whether you would be using your saddle for pleasure riding, jumping or dressage. That way you already narrow your choice down to purpose.

Before buying your saddle make sure that you are able to return the saddle if it does not fit your horse. The best way to ensure your saddle fits properly is to have it fitted by a saddle maker or saddle fitter. However there are some rules of thumb techniques you can use if there is no one available to help you.

You can measure the width of your horses back and the width of the inside/underneath of the saddle. Make sure that between the pummel of the saddle and the top of the horses shoulder (wither) you can place three fingers. So it is not just as simple as getting measurements, the real test is putting the saddle on the horse.

A properly fitted saddle allows the horse to move freely with no strain or restriction.

Minor fitting problems can be helped with the use of a saddle pad or blanket. This type of padding will not correct or compensate for a poor-fitting saddle.

It is important that the saddle fits and is comfortable for both horse and rider. A saddle that fits improperly can put pressure on incorrect points on the horse, resulting in pain for the horse.

Saddle sores can result and your horse will strongly object to having his saddle put on. There is also risk to the rider as some horses have been known to buck, off seating the rider, due to pain caused by an improperly fitted saddle.

All saddles need to be kept clean and dry. Store your saddle under cover, away from weather and dust. Regular use of your saddle and time will give way to wear and tear, you should recheck your saddle for a proper fit every couple of years.

Your saddle may need to have some padding added, not to mention your horse still develops and changes over the years and minor adjustments should be made. With proper care, handling and use your saddle will last a long time.
