If you have trouble getting into that site google, Prestige Trekker RR Saddle, and let me Know if that's what you have. I could not get a look at what you sent me as it wouldn't open for some reason..... Jeff

Thanks Jeff. That is not the same saddle. Sorry I couldn't get the photo to post correctly. Instead, here is the link from eBay:

Okay, I got the ebay listing to print that helps me. The tree in the saddle looks like it might be made by Steele saddle co but they did not build the saddle as they don't line the skirts with wool under the tree. The stirrups have been changed as the text states. Looks like a decent saddle for the money. With me now having a pic. and knowing it's an endurance saddle I might be able to get to the bottom of this thing yet. It looks like the saddle rigging is designed to be set up in a V shape which is not uncommon for this type of saddle, if you are not familiar with this rigging I can try to send you a picture of how the thing is done between the front and back dees, it does make the saddle very stable on the horse .....Jeff

I have been searching online as the original information I gave you was not correct. Sorry for the confusion. I did not have any success finding out much information about a RR brand of saddlery with back to back R's.

I did find this heartwarming story with reference to an old RR saddle. Maybe its nothing, but still a nice read.

How old is your saddle?

Thank you for sharing that story. I still haven't found out anything about the maker, but the story gave me an idea to write to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum to see if they had any leads.

Thanks guys.

Great to hear it turned out to be better than you expected. I still haven't given up on finding the actual maker of your find. Let me know if you find any other clues on the saddle...... Jeff

The western saddles with the R`s that are back to back, are 'Double R' saddles. Originally The Red Ranger saddles, that were then bought out somewhere in the late 70`s and then became Double R.

Either way, a different company then The Rocking R saddles.
