Jeffery Presbaugh
As a young man, Jeffery had a love of horses and the ranching way of life. He took up leather working to feed his artistic side while he paid his bills as a construction worker. He absorbed all he could from as many different saddle makers and artists who would help an eager learner.

For over 10 years, he has been drawing, designing and fabricating beautiful gates. Read more …
