I normally hate stuff like that, but yours looks great! One suggestion for your web site, maybe try to put up more pictures of the tack ON a horse. It looks even better in action!
There are quite a few "Testimonials" posted in my guestbook about how great the finish is.. Its got a hard thin "laminate like" sealer over the leather. You just wipe it off with a wet cloth.. The set on the front page of the barrel horse news is 3 years old this year and still looks nearly new...
Its not my cup of tea but it does look like quality stuff. Im a plain leather kind of guy. I really dont like to much basket stamping. I like a roughout saddle!
That would be awesome for parades, and of course barrel racers. But I think the riders are already blingy enough as is. But it is pretty. Way out of my price range.
For everyday riding I'd be scared to scratch it.
Each to their own I say - Just because I don't make it ( traditional stuff only ) dosen't mean I don't think it looks good . Wouldn't use it myself as I ride English only but if I did ride western I would probably give it a go.
I'm all for traditional as well. I feel like fancy, showy tack takes attention away from the horse. You've got a beautiful animal; I don't want anything to distract from that.
I agree, seeing it on a horse gives unimaginative people like me the real picture.
Things often look better on than they do on the shelf.
I like your stuff because it's colourful and bold but not that sparkly jewelry crystal stuff. Which can look nice in moderation but I feel people have gone way overboard with it.

I ride English mostly, western if the horse requires that I be able to hang on or for a trail ride, and I'm not much for the blingy tack personally. I do own a forest green cordura saddle and matching nylon trail bridle outfit (actually looks awesome on my copper-red horse! Not bad on my almost-bay dark chestnut!), but this is almost too detailed and busy. Looks OK on the barrel horses, and I could definitely see pieces as maybe trophy tack for shows (?).
