More about the Book
For years the top of the line technique for making Corona Saddle Pads was to use store bought pompoms and glue onto a base fabric. I was never satisfied with this technique.
I searched a long time for a better solution. In 2002, I made my first Corona Saddle Pad with my signature technique. That first one proved that I was moving in the right direction. Since then, I've made numerous Corona Saddle Pads using this technique with several accompanying the hobby's best saddles to NAN.
This booklet compiles over 9 years of experience to give you directions on making top-winning Corona Saddle Pads!
And, because many have expressed the desire for Top Level Tack Instructions, I didn't cut back on the booklet size, but gave you the FULL DETAILS on how to make Corona Saddle Pads. This 30 page booklet contains 30 full color photos, showing samples and steps for making Corona Saddle Pads.
