I’m proud to announce that the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST) is helping me develop my side saddle specialism. The Trust, which awards scholarships to exceptional British craftspeople, is supporting me to attend courses taught by side saddle expert Richard Godden.

I’m honing my side saddle refurbishment, restoration and repair skills, as well as learning to make new saddles to help ensure the future of this traditional sport.

I’m dressed for the period costume class at The Side Saddle Association’s Area 8 show at Ardingly, June 2010.  My mother made the costume, see her website for other items:  www.theemporium.org.uk . Bob is wearing a side saddle and bridle made by myself. Go to www.stripeycats.org.uk/sidesaddle8  for more information on side saddle events in the area .
