Hi Colin, my name is Dawn Gritzinger. I purchased a saddle from you at the Ohio Congress in 2001.
I was cleaning and oiling it today and looked you up to see if you were still making saddles. Read your story and wanted to let you know how extremely sorry I am to hear about your loss. So touched my heart.
I have a Circle Y that sits in the guest room because it's pretty, and I've also owned a Steuben and many others. Your saddle is my very favorite.

I've rode countless miles in this saddle, we've camped in northern Michigan for weeks at a time riding the trails.
Diesel. His mum was a black Clydesdale, his dad a Hackney/American Saddlebred cross.
I originally bought it because my horse had a bad back. The horse that sits on now is a Clydesdale cross who is 21 that I've owned and trained since he was two years old. I've loved horses (and all critters) since conception.
I also suffered a loss in 2017, my son Jacob who was 24 passed away. He had a huge heart for animals and loved horses.
Just wanted to thank you for the most amazing saddle I've ever ridden in. I hope you are doing well
(I understand how hard that is after such a horrible loss)
In all sincerity, Dawn Gritzinger
