John has taken out 1st prize at this year's Royal Easter Show.

 Having never entered in anything before at any show, John decided after making a saddle for his 10 year old daughter Belle, that he would enter it into the Australian Stock Saddle category at this year's Royal. 

The saddle features filligary staple plates finished with Belle's initials.  It is sure to be a prized possession within the Lordan family for years to come.
