I do most of the sewing, repair of clothing an also love to copy pictures of old habits for people who want them.
Looking at your avatar, it looks like you are into horses too. My horse is 32 years old and we are growing old together!
How interesting! So you repair everything connected to side-saddling! Wow, does the group actually use the stuff and ride side saddle or do you just donate/sell after it is repaired? Sounds like a group that actually rides side saddle!
Yes, I have several horses. The oldest one is 29, my retired champion show horse. I ride almost everyday.
I love to hear the stories where people keep their horses till the end - my horses never get sold.
