Every time I order something from Black Diamond Designs, I am filled with excitement of what’s to come. I know that everything I purchase will exceed my expectations and play a part in some of my happiest memories with my horse. I recommend BDD tack to those looking for new bridles or breastplates for hunting and many of my sidesaddle items are from BDD. Amy’s restoration work is top notch, while preserving the historical nature of these sidesaddles and related items, so we can enjoy them SAFELY with our horses for years to come. For new tack, I especially love the rubber laced reins for hunting as well as daily schooling. When it comes to custom items, I have never felt more comfortable in an apron than in the ones I’ve had custom made by Amy. And her sidesaddle queens are elegant AND effective. I’m grateful for the quality as well as helpful knowledge that accompanies every purchase. The sidesaddle and horse world at large is lucky to have Amy and BDD a part of it!
