Dave, Thanks for the kind words,we between us have nearly got the horse tacked up,I have a saddle,an Officers version,not stamped up unfortunately but very nice non the less.
It is amazing how the more femer pieces stay undamaged,thank goodness they do as pictures do not do them justice.
As for the stuffed horse,David,I can supply a real one,here is King Arthur,17 hands of Dutch Gelderlander,my most prized possesion and a real four legged friend!!
Regards,Ivan.
