WILLIAM "EDSEL" BOWLIN - Saddle Maker - Mr. Edsel owns Fairview Farm Saddlery in Dresden, TN. Mr. Edsel has been a AQHA member since 1940, and we think he bleeds Quarter Horse! We have managed to change Mr. Edsel's views on mules and 2007 saw his wonderful Quarter mare Skipper Dee Lite produce her first mule baby! Not bad for someone who has been breeding Quarter Horses for 60+ years. Mr. Edsel makes beautiful saddles and his shop is a full service saddle and tack repair facility. He carries McCall, Circle Y and Billy Cook saddles. He is our tack repair "master", and we encourage anyone in the NW Tennessee area to stop by his shop and have an old fashioned 8oz. bottle Coke and a chat (he may even show you pictures of his mule baby Lake Nowhere Luna).

We are very fortunate that Jeremy found us and thank him profusely for his care of our animals and assisting us with all of our web and computer issues. Anyone needing assistance with their website design will get a "two thumbs/hooves up" recommendation from these satisfied customers (2 and 4 legged alike!).
