Secondly as I have to make this full set, I can make it to any specification as long as it is a private drive set, it can be pony, cob or full, brown or black, but it will have a breast collar as opposed to a full collar. I would rather make something that is going to be used. Is there anyone who would like to commission a set at a very reduced rate? I am thinking of about £900 for a full leather set. The set can be made to their measurements and will made be to the society of master saddlers' level 3 skills test (so it should be good or else I won't pass!).

I live in Weston near Baldock and my telephone number is 07971 893719 or you can contact me by email.
