Five Times a Winner!
February 2011, The Society of Master Saddlers
National Saddlery Competition was again held at Saddlers Hall in London.
Once again, Laura won the class for Best New Side Saddle and the Side Saddle Association Trophy for the saddle displaying the Highest Quality of Workmanship. This is the 5th time that Laura has won the SSA Trophy and the 4th time to win this class.
Every entrant in this class was awarded a Premium Award for Excellence of Craftsmanship which is very encouraging for the future of Side Saddlers in Britain.
