I had a "showpiece" saddle one time--- I bought it off a florida tack classified where a woman had bought a horse and a new Bob marshall came with it. I got the Bob marshall for 900 and I have NEVER seen one like it. I saw one that was similar but none as gorgeous as this one. It was black with all kinds of elegant, elaborate floral tooling and silver everywhere. I sold it for 1500 to a MAN who said he wanted it for barrel racing?? Do men barrel race? Would a man who barrel raced want such a fancy saddle? He said he was a cop too. I bet he gave that saddle to his girlfriend! But I just knew it would always be a total waste on me, even as a parade or show saddle. It sat in my house six months before I sold it. Know what kinda saddle would be a hoot to own?? a trophy saddle ! One that said "2006 WGC Roper" or something haha. That would be so fun to have... Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
