Brek This is so funny that you pointed out the parade saddle. I had noticed some weeks ago as it reminds me of my growing up in San Antonio. The rodeo was always held at the Joe and Harry Freeman Coliseum. My parents (especially my Mom, quite the horsewoman and showed quarter horses) were very close friends of the two brothers that started the San Antonio Livestock Exhibition (hence the source of my first name when I was adopted) and going to the rodeo until a young adult. As a kid, I used to be mesmerized by these saddles during the opening of each rodeo, the incredible craftsmanship was a marvel to young eyes as I would go to the barns and watch the owners carefully polishing their saddles with utmost care and pride. Then during the procession of the trail riders before each performance, when the spotlights would hit the leads atop these saddles, they would literally gleam like the treasures they truly are. As a kid I knew they were expensive but had no idea they were THAT expensive! Whoa! Now the rodeo is held in the same soul less stadium the Spurs play that sits next to the old Joe and Harry Freeman Coliseum (obviously more seats) but all the barns and stalls that my Mom had helped design surrounding are still in use. This year, she was inducted into the Hall Of Fame, only the second woman in the exhibitions history to be so honored. freeman fisher In a message dated 5/6/2010 8:23:11 A.M.

I know this is not a movie poster, but I am sure there are some Mopo collector's that might be interested in seeing. No, it is not my poster, but since you did bring it up I do have a saddle in the auction I think is worth looking at as well and would appreciate passing on to any high end Western collectors. These are both in the Heritage Americana auction this month.
