Page 51 was the “Casey Tibbs” of his day. The swell or pommel of this saddle came out on both sides of the horn [drawing] so a rider could get his knees under them. This saddle was disqualified in later years for contests. Bridles, chaps etc were also made in the shop. In fact if it could be made of leather this man could make it. Well, we looked the saddles over and came up with a used cooper-contest for forty dollars. Pa tried to buy me a pair of boots but couldn’t find my size. We even went to F. Pierre but still no luck so I went home and rode with shoes. |
