Can you upload photos? Notice you haven't been back since the day you posted. Would be great to have more of your input here. Quote

I’m interested in learning more about. I have pictures but can’t download for some reason! The saddle is floral tooled with “LINN” carved into the back of the cantle and built on bags. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Good morning! Sorry for the slow reply. LINN was built for J.B. Linn, Jr. 1949. We have started a Facebook group page for those wanting to learn and share stories about their Schweitzer saddles, please join us by searching on FB Schweitzer Saddle Matador. Be interesting to see if anyone has info about J.B. and can fill in more details for you! PS it sounds like you have the Poinsettia pattern. Would really like to see a picture of it! Quote

Members MTC2023 Posted February 18, 2024 Members Report Posted February 18, 2024 Just found this page! I just inherited a Schweitzer saddle and 2 C.W. Cannon saddles from my dad. They were so special to him and he was close friends with Cannon. I spent a ton of my time as a kid in Cannon’s work shop. My dad had a ranch not too far from there in Dickens. I know that Schweitzer mentored Cannon at some point in his early career. I’d love to know more about both of these guys if anyone cares to share. I know the few stories I heard over and over growing up (and the bit I remember about Cannon before he passed away) but looking to learn more so I can give these men justice when asked about the saddles. Thanks! Quote
