David took a bit of a break in Flagstaff, AZ while waiting for his vehicle be repaired. Luckily, car problems on his work trips have been extremely rare. But because he won't get home for a few more days, he has decided to push his next trip back one week. He'll now be leaving on Mar 26th. I'll update his post to show the correct dates. Please share the updated post with any of his people who don't check Facebook regularly.
Thank you!

If you have the pleasure of seeing David today, make sure to wish him a happy birthday. As you all know, he's pretty amazing! And there's never a dull moment when he's around.
PS. I changed the picture at his request. David loves to make people laugh but he blackmailed me into changing it😆

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

We celebrated early so David could leave on his work trip this morning. David braved the snowy drive to Boise and we're praying the weather will clear in all the areas he's headed to. He can't wait to get to CA and AZ, at the end of his trip, so he can enjoy the warm weather!

A little about me...
I'm an independent English saddler. I began my trade in England and I've been working in the U.S. for 30 years. I do custom saddle fitting on English and Western saddles. I do reflocking, adjustments and repairs on every kind of English saddle. Most of my work is done on site. Contact me at 435-881-2364 or pm me if you need your saddles checked. Or see the pinned FAQ on my page.

It was a pleasure working here! If you're traveling with your horses and need a place to stop overnight, I highly recommend Horse Haven Ranch! They're very friendly and professional!

Let's try something new. This is a map of David's planned route in Feb. He'll stop anywhere along this route, and go to the red areas, as needed. If you're near his route, and want to schedule an appointment, let us know. If you're not near his mapped route, but think you might be close enough (or you believe a detour might be easy), please reach out. He might be able to accommodate. He'll be posting his Feb dates soon.
Let us know if posting a map is helpful or not.
