The national Side Saddle Association had a blustery, oft times rainy show, but it didn’t deter the many who attended to compete in a variety of classes, aimed at pleasing everyone, so by Sunday everyone, including their equine partners, were exhausted..happily.

I met up with many familiar faces and enjoyed a good show, very busy and was very pleased with the response to the new sidesaddle range I had brought with me.    Basically, a pair of mugs with different designs, appearing on gilded tankards, boxes, bowls, cups & saucers,  in presentation or plain boxes.    

When designing the sidesaddle ware, I wanted to despict the variety of equines and their riders – both come in all shapes and sizes, modern habits, some wearing traditional hunting habits, some aspiring to be out of a Munnings painting;  some wanting to pursue the historical aspect and indeed achieving this after a lot of hard work with immense attention to detail.
