What an incredible deal. Way to go, girl. Now we need pics of YOU sitting in that saddle astride your beautiful horse! I love used saddles -- it looks like you did a fantastic job bringing the leather back to life. You can tell a lot about a horseman/woman by the way they take care of their tack.
Hubby and I bought handmade hand tooled saddles - one was a roping saddle, the other was a barrel saddle -- that was well over 30 years ago and even though I don't ride anymore, I won't give up my saddle
