I used the Stitching Horse, Along with Ace Lunger's Stitching Pony for the second annual Collegium for the Living History Program in Old Sacramento ... and here is a pic of the horse in last year's Collegium :

My moniker is my great grandfather's name. He served with the 2nd Florida Mounted Regiment in the Civil War. Afterward, he came home, packed his wife into a wagon, and was one of the first NorteAmericanos on the Frio River southwest of San Antonio ..... Kinda where present day Dilley is ...

JD,

The above post was totally serious ... I find I use the horse on  weekly, and sometimes daily basis ... both for its intended purpose and so much more ... for instance, it makes a great way to clamp up weird surfaces for an overnight glue job ....

Nice looking horse. Where did you get it.
My monikor comes from my family's former ranch Santa Cruz Farms located outside Eloy, Arizona. The Santa Cruz river runs through the land.

Eloy,

I got it from JD who had gotten it from someone else ...

And yes, it is nice ,,, the jaws or clamps to it are not fixed like most, but swivel 360 degrees, with a wood-knurled pin that stops it about every five degrees.

Plus, there 3 tool 'bays' on each side of the clamp arms, and four 'tool bays' on the front that hold even more stuff ... not to mention the beeswax 'tray' that is cantilevered off the rear of the right-side arm that holds beeswax to run needles and thread through ...

Rick.

Whomever built it was not only a pretty good leatherworker, but woodworker as well, and put alot of thought into the 'horse before he ever put a blade to wood.

I thank him every day for the design, and would like to buy the fella a drink ....

TTFN,
