old saddle.........made by Miles City Saddlery referred to as a "turtle"...made in the early 1900's!!
Ranchwife, that looks just like the saddle my dad has us trying to restore.........too many times in the rain, back when it used to rain here like it has this year. He bought it new when he was just a teenager, so about 1950 or thereabouts. It's had a lot of miles put on it. :nod: I know it was a maker down here that built it, but can't remember the name right offhand....... :?
One of these days, after our Fair is over, I'll try to get out and take some pics of our tack...........if we have a sunny day to do it in, saddle shed is pretty dark otherwise. :roll:
This is interesting, cause Al decided to do a poster on Cowboy Tack for his SD (self-determined) 4-H horse project...........cowboy project is a better name for it, though. :nod:
