Sorry to all who are following this but I’m doing my best to try to send some pictures of this beautiful saddle. I am amazed at the style and amount of carving on this saddle. It must have taken a long time and the craftsmanship is unbelievable! The entire saddle except where one sits in the seat is carved. I always thought it should be in a saddle museum somewhere. Your great-grandfather or whoever did the leather work was something else BNEWTONP!!! Thank you!!!
BNewtonP if u have an email or cell number I can send the pictures. When I tried to attach the photos I get a message the file is too big, even one picture. I’m not saavy about this technology. Thank you SSmith 087
BNEWTONP I just took pictures is my saddle this morning and will try to upload them. I don’t know what I’m doing so hope they come trough. The numbers were stamped on the stirrup leather. When I got this saddle I took it to the only saddle maker in the area and he cleaned it and replaced some saddle strings. He also replaced the sheepskin with I believe a dyed red sheepskin. I don’t think it’s a man-made material. If u have the card on this saddle I would sure be interested. SSmith087 I can’t seem to upload photos so I’m going to send another message with just the photos if I can. Thank you
