I had a saddle built for me this year, first saddle I have bought in about 45 years, we have ridden trophy saddles from the team roping days for years and years, would keep the ones we liked and sell the others but I have broken the tree or jerked the horn loose in several of them catching and loading big stock in the pasture so decided to have me a saddle built that is almost indestructible due to the material the tree is made from and the unconventional rigging in the tree. here is a picture of it on my mule while I was putting the britching on it and figuring out how topad it on the mule.
MULE WITH BRAND NEW OUT IN THE BUSHES NOT AN IN THE ARENA COMPETITION SADDLE
The crew after the 30 mile ride at a walk took 6 hrs, it was done for the benefit of the green mule of my brother in law Adam, she is the little red dun mule on the left of the picture next to her is a fellow that just wanted to ride with us Stacy Potts, next to him is a fellow that I hunt with some Tanner McElhaney, and then on the far right is yours truly.
