Hmmm, Im trying to think what would be the best option for seeing some of the saddles outside of the men at arms books. I dont know too many books that publish too much about the Persians here. The books I have are from Iran that I and my father have brough back, and also photos that I took myself. But in order to really see the saddles, you have to see the carvings themselves to get the details of it. If I can get good enough scans, Ill see about posting them.<br>
<br>
As far as riding the McClelland, its a fund saddle to ride. I totally stripped mine down and took all the U.S. Cavalry stuff off of it.<br>
<br>
On another note, I have a friend of mine who is one of the finest producers of Horse tack in the world. I am talking with him right now about the possibility of producing the saddle. Let me see what I can come up with through him. I am curious what people would think is a reasonable price to pay and if it would be worth it to him.<br>
<br>
As far as reasonable goes, I mean a realistic price that would make him pursue making this. He is burried in making bridles and saddles, and probabley sells about a thousand bridles a month, so I have to see how attractive I can make this offer for him. His work is impecable.<br>
