Originally all vaquera saddles were smooth. Then a delicate form of embossing with silk was introduced for display and feria saddles, as well as the artisitic arabesque style, seen in the foto above.
Leather on leather is traditional. Embossing on the the black saddles is done in the same colour. A darker brown can be used with the traditional avellana light brown vaquero saddle.
Ramon’s work can be seen on horses at the Royal School in Jerez, and in the Doma Vaquera championships.
