Leather has been used for eons in creating quality harness, tack, pack gear, saddlebags, and all the trimmings. The animal's comfort and ability to function at their best depends on a knowledgeable leathersmith, and we are fortunate to have a top-notch craftsman in our own back yard!! Talk all things leather with Ashley (Punky's Saddlery) on Oct. 3 & 4!!
