Sharon's Old Timer

Classic and pretty lines were the order with a little something unusual. Drum-dyed brown leather covers this Butch Cassidy saddle with a small rope border studded with small brass spots.  4 1/2" cantle, 8 1/2" gullet,  faux 8-button seat and exposed stirrup leathers add to the old-time feel of this saddle.  American Bison buck rolls, scalloped cantle and gullet bindings, and half covered brass stirrups. $5450

Hog Heaven Swell Fork

Our place is actually located just West of Hog Heaven, MT, and inspired the name of this tree I designed, and built by Ben Swanke.  It's similar to a Will James with a little rounder top line, and the leg cut is a little lower down. This saddle features Chestnut leather stamped with Barnes' Stacking Shell (first model), offset welts, darkened rawhide and mule horn wrap to match the elephant ear seat and horn, jailhouse stirrups, and custom silver by Todd Hansen. Rawhide rims are scalloped and silver pinned. $7800
