Dear Mr. Carney,

I would like to thank you for the magnificent leather work you did for me in recreating my Bohlin Parade headstall that was stolen. The craftsmanship is excellent, and it matches perfectly. The Bohlin double rig gun belt, matching Gauntlets, Buckaroo style Bohlin spur straps, and even my dress belts are beautifully hand tooled to match my Silver Parade Saddle.. The placement of the Bohlin made silver is very obvious how much time and care you took on matching Bolin’s work. Your workmanship would make Mr. Bohlin proud!

I ride with the Long Beach Mounted Police in many parades each year, most famous being the Rose Parade in Pasadena California. I get to actually use the Bohlin Parade Saddle and outfit which you helped recreate. One of the more impressive items that you did for me was the Bohlin style round reins to go with my recreated headstall. The craftsmenship is unbelievable, the stitching in the perfectly round leather, and with the placement of the Bohlin engraved Silver tubes is incredible.

John your craftsmen ship and knowledge of Bohlin, made it all possible for me to Ride in a complete Bohlin Silver saddle outfit right down to the spur straps. As Captain of the Long Beach Mounted Police, it is part of my responsibility to check a lot of riders gear. I can say that your workman ship is equal to the best.

Again, Thank You for all of your experience with Bohlin Saddles helping me put my outfit back together.

Sincerely,

Andrew Vineyard
Andrew L. Vineyard

George Pitman testimonial

My love of horses and the Old West began over 50 years ago when I got my first
of many horses and spent Saturday afternoons watching all the old western movie
heroes bringing law and order to the Old West. My lifetime affair riding top
Western horses in national-rated competition and the Pasadena Rose Parade led to
my collecting silver parade saddles over the past 20 years.

Christie's, the world's leading auction house, founded in 1766, conducts auctions
all over the world in 80 categories. I was selected as an independent appraiser for
Christie's in 1997 due to my expertise in the category of saddles and western
collectibles. I have a gracious letter from the President of Christie's thanking me
for my help. With regard to silver saddles, I love the thrill of chasing them and the
excitement of discovering them for our museum.

John Carney started doing leather work for me over 15 years ago. The quality of
his work is clearly the best I have ever seen. He obviously uses his head to make
wise decisions regarding what needs to be done to restore a saddle and executes his
work with precision detail. You should visit my website at
"pitmansaddlemuseum.com" to see quality craftsmanship.
