Mr. Peterson,<br>
I understand there is no evidence regarding how the horns were sewin into the original saddles but can you give a description of how you sewed yours to the felt pad version? It seems the plates would've been attached to something solid such as a wooden core and if so I wonder how well this would hold up under constant use on a treeless saddle. Is it possible that the plates were nailed to a wooden core rather than sewn onto it? I apologize for all these questions fro a novice but I'm interested in this saddle design and I want to get it as close to correct as possible, to borrow a phrase from another board I frequent I want to get it "least wrong"!<br>
<br>
Another question I have regarding these saddles is where did this design originate from or does anyone have any ideas on this one? Just curious... looking forward to y'alls input-thanks!<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Scott McMahon<br>

PS- got my copy of Connolly's book on it's way... can't wait for it! <p></p><i></i>
