Saw your mention on FB about it and was waiting for more details :)<br />I'm thinking along the same lines as BEC & Cing; to me it looks like it could be a Billy Cook or a Hereford/Tex Tan. Of course I am FAR from well versed in the subject of older saddles and makers.<br />Whatever the make, I'm guessing it was a higher quality brand to have stood up to time so well without a lot of care.<br /><br />"The cowpoke offered to take it to my truck.

I can only do about 5 reps. Then I switch down to 8#, then 5# and up the reps. I'll have nice buff upper arms by the time I'm strong enough :-)<br /><br />The cowpoke offered to take it to my truck.

That is an interesting thought - to wonder what horses and riders have touched that saddle and where have they gone with it.Once Upon an Equinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807098276875052982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-8980042598092431012011-07-27T16:35:58.407-05:002011-07-27T16:35:58.407-05:00Wow, it looks like a Hereford Brand to me...very s...Wow, it looks like a Hereford Brand to me...very similar to my saddle. Did you check on the very bottom of the fender leathers where they might curve under to accomodate the stirrups? Major score!!

I am highly immune to tack sales these days, because I have what I need (plus extras of what I have); it's just crazy for me to consider buying stuff. The exception is biothane...that stuff is AWESOME for Swampdwellers! It never rots! <br /><br />We use Lexol on our leather when it's new, and then we switch to Obenauf's, which protects from repeated saturations. Saddles get treated two or three times each year; boots get treated at least once each month in fall/winter/spring.AareneXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569818745110332355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-3762292927541764652011-07-27T12:16:59.626-05:002011-07-27T12:16:59.626-05:00Purty!

Now hopefully Daltrey will be able to wear that and not grow too wide. I'm not much into all that fancy tooling..preferring simple designs, like barb wire, but that sure is pretty. <br />The weight of it would scare me off, though. I still have limited motion in my neck vertebra from ruptured disc surgery 17 years ago and just can't lift a heavy saddle. My Abetta only weighs 15 lbs and I know my horse thanks me for that, too. lol! <br /><br />Congrats on the great find. Enjoy :) <br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714027946249307604.post-51959062284024849172011-07-27T09:32:15.382-05:002011-07-27T09:32:15.382-05:00Very cool!

Grand dreams of her decked out in red, white and blue roses walking a parade route.
