I ran across this thread and just had to comment.
I just wanted to say that I do not remember Cliff very well. I was 11 years old at the time. I had started showing western in small shows at my riding club. Started taking lessons from Ronnie Richards. A San Fernando Saddle was the in thing for showers at that time. Even though I have not ridden in many years, I still have my saddle that was purchased in 1957. I can remember going with my dad to pick it up. Recently talked with an old friend I rode with back then. She is a trainer in the AQHA and still remembers Cliff Ketchum and San Fernando Saddlery.
The legends always live on.
