I respect Deanna wanting to stick to the task. I respect Dewayne for his respect of her wishes, and I respect them both for having the patience to work together.
Mama is right, there is something fulfilling about restoring your own saddle. Each of my 3 boys has their own saddle. We got older good quality saddles that needed some attention, then together we worked on getting them back in riding shape. Good bonding experience, good learning experience, and they ride just a bit taller on the saddles that they fixed up themselves.
Great video for seeing the innards of a saddle too. Thanks!
Nice to see/hear mamma. Hope her new saddle brings her years of reliable riding enjoyment. My wife says pretty nails aren’t for working women, lol! She gave up trying to keep “girly” nails years ago…
Well done to your apprentice, she has done a great job learning about the saddle.
Your lady would not give up. Kudos to her and great job
Great video as usual!
Just a small suggestion, next time try using a little saddle soap on the damp leather it will slide much smoother.
You did a great job ,and the saddle looks to be well made and in real good condition.
Great information! Thank you for putting in the time and effort to educate from start to finish. Also, thank you for breaking the videos up into shorter segments, it helped a lot!
I don’t know anything about horses but I love your channel. Watching this is like the equivalent to washing and then putting a car seat back together, for me. 😅
Well, It's your saddle now Mama!!! Sweat equity and satisfaction. Nicely done Deanna and for giving kudos to Dwayne on his method of mentoring
Good job Momma. Thank you.
Great work mama,,,,, determination goes a long way ,,,, with a satisfying feeling of doing and taking care of your own gear ....When that strap finally came thru,,, I was like (YES) Great video you 2,,, I wish I could visit with you guys personally,,, I can't wait see the next video.
Teamwork keeps marriages strong. No wonder y’all are such a pair! :)
You guys make a great team. Nice job
What a beautiful, beautifully made saddle !! Just beautiful. Wish I could find something used like that
Mama did a good job; and I hope the saddle works out ok. But Dwayne now that you own your own place you forgot the best MacGyver tool that works for thousands of things, A metal coat hanger! A simple loop with you Leatherman and threading a cord thru is easy. Use pieces for so many things that I keep pieces in tubes so always have some around.
Nice to see you and great work on the saddle
GREAT JOB with the saddle and all the insight…Thank you
Momma is all cowgirled up on her own saddle now. Bless her determination. ~ your neighbor
What an incredible lady! Mother really cowboyed up on this one. 👍🏻👏🏻
I like the saddle videos a lot... wish id seen um 60 years ago.... have fun yall...
A bit of work, but well worth it. Nice job! 👍👍
I’m so glad I watched this, one because I am having to do some work to break in a new-to-me saddle, but because I have had lots of questions about the quality of the J. Black saddles. It looks like you’ve got a good one!
Good for you Mama for a good no give up attitude 😁🤠🐝
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, Thanks to You & Momma for the sharing , could almost smell the leather.
Like this channel more every week!
Momma did it! I have some to replace. If she can do it, I can do it. We're all the same age!
Thanks for the information. Well described
I injoyed the videos on moma's new sattle. Thanks for sharing. I also injoy all the other videos to. I hope to see more. Stay safe and ride like the wind.
Nice job videoing Mister! That was so clear and concise that it made it very clear what you were doing. Ironically I had watched a video of a saddle maker doing a C.O.T on one of his past saddles to resale for his customer about six weeks ago. He also mentioned about using some kind of string. He did as you two did...and he didn't do it much easier, so you know it's a tough job. But as all have noted, a flat leather string would really make it a bit easier....I think. hehehe
Saddle anatomy 101. Excellent
Thanks Dewayne & Mamma
Yay. You did it!!! I have had many many years riding English. Stirrup leathers are a whole lot easier on an English saddle. I've been riding in Western saddles for several years now and sadly my "seat" outgrew my favorite 15" seat saddle. Time to get a new saddle. I opted to get a new production line "economy" to moderate model saddle. Of coarse, the leather was stiff and very thick. So I had a great idea. I'll just swap fenders. My old ones were turned and just right. It was the first time I had ever taken them completely off. Oh my! What a chore getting them back on! Surely there had to be an easier way. No telling how long I struggled. Once done , I had the right fender on the left and vise versa! And the new cheaper saddle did not have a groove for the strap and I got bruises on my inner thighs. Why does that leather have to be so thick! Why couldn't it be nylon?
You did a good job Momma!
Gota luv the sound of squeaky leather!
Ma'am, your hands are just fine; better than any Kardashian, because they are capable. Great job!
Yaaay Mama...... I found myself twisting in my seat and moving my mouth while you fed that leather!! Way to go and good job!!
Well done, mama!
Thanks for this series. Good info. Take care.
I love how she wanted to do everything.
Very nice video!
So appreciate your teaching us! Take care, God Bless and looking forward to your next video!!
I have used drywall screws to repair saddles and they are quick and they are easy but I NEVER use them on the rigging or anything is going to take heavy use. I would use only one screw to hold the front of the seat jockey to the swell or the front barb and one hold back housing to the rear barb. Only on the cheap saddles that aren’t word a damn too. If it had a nail in it I would cut a nail to size and put it back in.
Awesome job, well done!!!!
Good job Mama.
Dang nice saddle!
Great lesson thank you.moma you are a true lovely woman.
Mama ain’t playing around!!

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
Dwayne have you thought about another channel where you just smoke cigars and your favorite spirit to go with and just share your unique wisdom to subscribers for us who enjoy your videos but aren’t horse people ?
I watched all three videos regarding the purchase of this saddle and I never knew any of this information prior to viewing. It was really interesting. Good job momma. Do you ever use momma's actual name. I feel funny saying that because I feel that it's your personal preference. Until you say otherwise. Can we smoke a cigar now Dewayne?
I’m having a cigar right now, a Partagas Black Label Gigante. Momma’s real name is Deanna, if you’re more comfortable with that.
@@DryCreekWranglerSchool Thanks. I'm comfortable with whatever you two are. Mainly I didn't want it to be disrespectful in anyway. A nice cigar sounds great. Hope you were able to relax and take your time with your Partagas.
Congratulations to your wife "Momma" on learning this great skill! Hi Dewayne, I'm an English saddle rider mostly. I noticed around the 1:50 mark in the video what I thought was "glue" on the underside of the leather as you were picking up the leather at the beginning of the video. It looked like the top leather of the saddle seat was glued to other leather below it (maybe a rawhide surface). Did you re-glue this or is that unimportant? I don't know much you might have "unglued" or even if it matters. Again, I ride in English hunter and dressage saddles, so your wife's situation is not something I'd deal with, which is why I asked and please forgive my ignorance. I've certainly seen many shoemakers use leather glues before and wondered if that was needed here.
Mr Goodman, I think what you are seeing is just a wear mark on the leather from rubbing together of the fender and stirrup leather. Just my observation of what I see.
@@garysorrells8133 , perhaps it was a wear mark. It looked like stretched glue to me, but it's a minor point and not my saddle so I won't make an issue of it. It was just something I noticed and I can be completely wrong here. Thanks for your feedback. :-)
I believe you are right Mr Goodman, it wasn't a splotch of glue ,a dark spot it, looked like glue stretching. Just my observation as well..
How on earth has Mama maintained her figure and beauty after 7 kids??? I want her secret!
I sure do enjoy your videos . Always seem to learn something new to improve my horsemanship . However , I just pull my leathers almost all the way through and clean and oil them ,then pull the other way till I get to the oiled part and then oil the rest of it . No need to pull them all the way out and have the hassle of putting them back in . Just my opinion .
There now, that wasn’t so easy now was it 😉
😆
When I eat noodles I watch videos about noodles. I'm currently oiling my saddle.
Hi . When you put the saddle strings in instead of the conches do they come through the fleece? Or do you have a way to stay above the fleece like from factory
If you use the string method do you still take the front apart?
Well you have a great day too young lady
How do you properly measure stirrup length?
👏👏👏👏..... 🌼
I though you were going to drill and lace like saddle strings?
That’s still ahead in this series
What leather do you have hanging on your hip there?
A sheath for my Buck 110
now you get to ride and train in the videos
😊....Every man should have a woman that supports and speaks well of her husband.
(reference/How I started my career as a wrangler)
unfortunately....I DON'T.
Has anyone else smoked a cannabis cigar before?
If it’s cannabis, it’s not a cigar
@@DryCreekWranglerSchool
Cannagar
@@DryCreekWranglerSchool not even if the wrap is tobacco but the inside is cannabis? Thank you for responding sir and yes these are real questions 🤙🏾🖤
No, not even then. A cigar is 100% tobacco. The definition of cigar is “a cylinder of tobacco rolled in tobacco leaves for smoking.”
@@DryCreekWranglerSchool one last question for you sir and I really do sincerely appreciate you taking the time to reply to me....
Have you ever smoked cannabis in your life?
Great video!
