I got a new piece of gear..... There are a few guys here that will appreciate it. My new hunting saddle.
It is a Denver made Heiser,ca late'40's early '50's. My dads cousin worked there, and lost a bunch of fingers on some kinda stamping machine about 1950. Always wanted a good ol' cowboy kak.
Some of the border tooling......
The leather is in wonderful condition, all original from the sheepskin to the strings.....Had to give it a workout.....
This is to me, what a Hamley would be to the NW guys.Don

Nice saddle Don,
What a Visalia would be to the CA vaqueros...
That looks like a STOUT roan there. Or you are a slight fella... _________________ Sometimes when you think the deck is totally stacked against you and that elk hunting is the stupidest activity on earth, remember that there are thousands of people out there who would love to be miserable like you right now...

Both...... I'm about 140, the hoss goes about 1380. Percheron/QH cross. He started life as a saddle bronc, quit bucking, and was made into a top notch pick-up horse. He's the one you wanna be riding if you have to rope a bull and drag him outta the arena...... Since I don't rodeo anymore, all he does is hunt and dayworks a little at a local ranch.
