    HORSEMAN’S HANDBOOK OF WESTER SADDLES BY R.L. SHERER
    You are bidding on a new copy of Horseman’s Handbook of Western saddles by master saddlemaker Richard L. Sherer.  This is not a “How-To” book but rather a book written for the consumer. It focuses on identifying and evaluating the construction techniques used in factory-made, production and custom saddles. With this information you will have more knowledge about western saddles than most people who are selling them. For the novice saddlemaker, the information will help you decide which construction techniques you may want to use in building your saddles.  Excerpts from the book can be read at:

    Western Horseman Magazine Book Review
    In the preface, the author states, "The purpose of this book has been to provide novice as well as seasoned horsemen with the factual information necessary to evaluate the quality
    of western saddles."
    To that end, Sherer has produced a handy guide to saddle selection. Carefully he guides the reader through the saddle making process. He uses lots of photos and drawings, and starts the book with detailed information about the saddle's foundation, the tree. This includes the bars, swells, gullet, cantle, and horn, and the rawhide covering. There are diagrams on saddle measurements and descriptions of different styles.
    Next, he gets into the details of western saddles - including all the leather parts, designs, and styles. There is a good discussion of riggings, skirts, seats, fenders, stirrups, and padding.
    Part three discusses dressing up the saddle with stamping, carving, and trim, and part four tells how to maintain the saddle in good condition. This is an excellent handbook.
