Looking for info on saddle styles
« on: January 14, 2006, 09:45:31 AM »
This is my first time to the forum very interesting . I am looking for ideas on  what style saddles are popular and where to get pictures of the old style saddles. I have made several of the old style saddles over the years mostly Cheyenne Taylor and Weatherly's with the Samstagg rigging. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Will Ghormley(sp) has been considering doing some plans for historically correct saddles but I do not know what his latest status is on the project.  You might want to look into his web site for more info or contact instructions.

Also $10 Horse, $40 saddle. This is a reprint of the original done in the '70's.
All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream. -- T.K. Whipple
