| About me |
| Welcome to JS Custom tack saddlery! My name is Jana Skybova and I have been fascinated by horses since I was born. Ever since I touched and rode a horse for the first time when I was 5, I knew it is something I want to do for the rest of my life! |
| Even though I spent most of my childhood playing with plastic horses and making a very primitive yarn bridles and tinfoil saddles, I'd never thought, I'll get back to the hobby 22 years later. |
| It has all started 3 years ago. Our friends from New York came to visit us and when they were leaving (knowing about my biggest passion) they gave me my very first Breyer horse! (at age 26 :)) I put it on display and couple days later, after doing a little research, I found out that people were customizing their models and making a really great and very realistic looking tack for them. I was thinking back about my yarn bridles and tinfoil saddles and was wondering, if I could do something like that. So I bought some leather, tools and Rio Rondo hardware and the obsession began! :) |
| Now, 3 years later, my work ships across the globe to UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Australia and I owe huge THANK YOU to all my customers. While I don't have much time to show my tack personally, I rely on them to get my creations in the show ring and every time I hear from them about all the NAN cards and Champs my tack helped them to bring home, I don't know who's more happy about it. |
| Thank you all SO MUCH and please enjoy the next few pages of pictures of my work! |
