Vintage Southwestern Leather Horse Show Saddle Silver Turquoise Estate Find

Vintage Southwestern Leather Horse Show Saddle Silver Turquoise Estate Find. Saddle measures 15" from the horn to the back edge of seat, seat width on rear is 12 1/2".

It has Andrew's ring hardware, the stirrups have a lot of length adjustment with quality metal snaps for each position. It is covered in silver and turquoise, even the wrapping around the back of the seat is sterling silver wrapping. I could find no makers marks anywhere. The words "Bear Claw" are on the back of the saddle as you can see in pictures. The horn is 5 1/2 across and surrounded by sterling silver.

I cannot imagine how many weeks someone had I decorating and assembling this saddle. The leather has been kept well with saddle soap.

The seat binding does have some fraying near the edge. If you have any questions or need any more photos just let me know.
