Beautiful "Tribute to the Troops Saddle" at the 2015 Black Hills Stock Show in Rapid City, South Dakota

[Soapweed]

A marvelous "Tribute to the Troops Saddle" and the master craftsman who created it, Mike Bray from Monticello, Minnesota

It is the epitome of American patriotism.

Both sides of each fender are tooled.

Nifty patriotic bridle

With a real revolver made into the bit

Beautiful wooden stands

A class act all the way around. It needs to be displayed in a proper place, such as the Smithsonian Institute.

A leather covered guitar

Nice leather art

Guitar strap with a message

WOW, great artist and craftsman.
Wonder how many months it took to create that saddle.
