Nicola Watson Leatherwork
I am a side saddle specialist Master Saddler member of the Society of Master Saddlers, with 20 years experience in the saddlery trade. I also ride and compete side saddle. I was recently awarded a scholarship by the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (a branch of the Royal Warrant Holders Association) for further training in side saddle repair and manufacture with Richard Godden, which I have now completed. My side saddle entry at the Society of Master Saddlers Annual National Saddlery competition 2014 was awarded a Premium Award for excellence of craftsmanship. My services include side saddle refurbishment, manufacture and fitting, bespoke bridlework and side saddle accessories. I sometimes have side saddles for sale, and I am interested in purchasing project saddles for refurbishment.
Call me to discuss your requirements.
