I dont know of a saddle maker better'n Rafter W...............good luck
You must know him?
Gale Jerome in Montana doesn't make saddles any longer, I don't
think, but at one time he was the 'GO TO' saddlemaker for the
cowboys in SW Montana. He really made good saddles, had a lot
of pride of workmanship and was very particular about the trees
he used. Only problem was, he made all those saddles stout
enough to rope a bull and they were HEAVY. And when you are young,
that's not so bad, but when you get 67 years old with a bad
back, they are just too darn heavy. Mr. FH Jerome saddle is
25 years old, has stood the test of time and is really nice to ride,
after you get it on a horse! :wink:
