Congrats to Kevin on the purchase of this beautiful saddle!

Brand new custom 16” black western trail saddle, handcrafted here in Kentucky by Amish saddle makers Eli and Jake Miller. The leather is black Wickett & Craig leather, which is a high-quality American leather known for being soft, strong, and long lasting.

This saddle has a beautiful classic look without being overdone. The black leather, hand tooling, conchos, and wide edge trim with the custom weave pattern give it just enough detail to stand out. It is sharp, but still very practical.

It was built with trail comfort in mind. It has a deep padded seat, 5” cantle, and turned stirrup leathers, which help the stirrups hang in a more natural position and can be easier on your knees during longer rides.

It is also a nice manageable weight at about 25 lbs, so it is not one of those heavy saddles you dread throwing up on a horse.

This saddle is built on a regular tree with semi-QH bars. It should be a good candidate for an average-built horse, but as always, saddle fit depends on the individual horse.

Specs:
• Seat: 16”
• Gullet: 7”
• Tree: Regular
• Bars: Semi-QH, 42° bar angle
• Bottom spread: 13”
• Cantle: 5”
• Weight: approximately 25 lbs
• Leather: Black Wickett & Craig leather
• Location: Bowling Green, KY
• Shipping available at buyer’s expense

Brand new, custom made, and ready to go. Message me if you would like more photos, measurements, or shipping information.

You all know how much I like to multitask and get double training for my time whenever possible. So here I am beginning Tate’s groundwork and have multiple distractions at once. Baby calf, sprinkler to water the arena, dog and another horse.
Why not?
Real life has plenty of distractions, so we like to train in that environment.
Plus, I got the arena dust down and did some calf sitting. 🤠😃

At what age do you teach your foals to tie?
We teach ours early.
Once they know pressure and release, we use the swivel top patience pole.

I like using the swivel top as it allows them to move freely in a circle which reduces a lot of stress.
What method do you use and at what age?

Are you a passenger or a leader?

One of the things I see on group rides is my horse will want to walk exactly where the horse in front steps. If he takes the left fork, my horse automatically takes the left fork.

Now some of this is rooted in safety. It makes sense to see where the horse in front goes, and if he negotiates it easily, that is indeed the best path.

But, I frequently will take the opposite fork when I can.

Why? To establish my leadership. So many times on trails we revert to passenger mode. We let the horse choose and follow.

But, we need our horse to follow US, to trust US. So, in order to keep them tuning into us, this is a simple way that we can re-establish our leadership.

So, what do you do? Do you take the opposite path or let your horse follow? What are your thoughts?

I was saddling Dreamer at the trailer and he wanted to get in, so I rolled with it. Guess he prefers trails vs boring arena work like I had planned 😂

Does your horse pin his ears, lunge, bite or kick at other horses on a group trail ride?
It is easy to label those actions as bad behavior, and they certainly can become dangerous. But before we correct the behavior, it helps to understand what the horse may be trying to communicate.

Horses use body language to control space and establish boundaries with one another. A pinned ear may mean, “Do not come any closer.” A turned head or quick lunge may mean, “Move away from me.” A bite or kick is often the louder version of a warning that was already given.
The problem is that we frequently miss the quieter signals.

The horse may have pinned an ear several times. He may have tightened his body, swished his tail, moved away or looked back at the horse crowding him. If the other horse keeps coming, he may increase the pressure until the message is finally heard. Then the rider says, “He kicked for no reason.”

This can become even more obvious in an unfamiliar group. The horses have not established how much space each one expects, who gives way or how each horse responds to pressure. One horse may tolerate another riding closely behind him, while a different horse considers that a serious challenge.

A horse that is used to moving others at home may become angry when a strange horse crowds or passes him. A more passive horse may lunge or kick because he feels trapped and cannot get away. Another horse may bite because the horse beside him repeatedly ignores his requests for space.

Understanding the reason does not mean allowing dangerous behavior. A horse still has to learn that he cannot bite, lunge or kick while under the rider’s control. But, it does mean that the riders should also pay attention.
Give horses enough room. Notice pinned ears and body tension before the reaction becomes bigger. Do not allow your horse to ride on another horse’s tail and then blame the horse in front for finally objecting.

Have you ever had your horse act out towards another on a ride, what did you do?

If you could custom design your own Jake Miller Saddle, what options would you choose? A splash of color? Fancy conchos? More or less tooling? Different stirrups? Love to hear your thoughts.
