FULLY LINEED JOCKEYS & FENDERS
TOP OF THE LINE WORKING SADDLE
Another Fine example from my private collection of saddles from
\"The GOLDEN ERA of \"CLASSIC California Saddle Makers\"
This Visalia shows some of the most beautiful tooling that I have ever seen anywhere
There isvirtually no space between any of the tooling and the flowers leaves and acorns are a work of the master of his day.
Included is the original Visalia Chincha with tooled buckle covers.Also the reata strap is the original tooled strap. Very rare for a saddle of this Era. It also is still soft and supple.
This Visalia is Collector quality all the way
This Visalia has the high backcantle , single rig. sloping horn, small round skirts, and narrow fenders to make it a Classic one hand saddle.
Even if you are not interested in buying this great saddle take a few moments to enjoy the detail of the tooling, to the art of saddle making in the pictures that I have posted. Use the greatmagnification tool to see the fine detail and talent that was used.
VISALIA STANDS SECOND TO NONE IN THE CLASSIC EARLY CALIFORNIA SADDLE MAKERS.
THEY SET THE BENCH MARK FROM TREE MAKING TO TOOLING TO STERLING SADDLES FOR THE RICH AND FAMOUS
VISALIA ALSO MADE THE EVERY DAY WORKING SADDLE THAT WAS BUILT TO BE RIDDEN IN 7 DAYS A WEEK for YEARS AND STAND UP THE THE HARSH CONDITIONS OFTHE CALIFORNIA VAQUARO
A WORKING MAN MIGHT RIDE MANY HORSES BUT HE ONLY RODE ONE SADDLE
THIS SADDLE IS A GREAT PEICE TO PRESENT IN A PLACE OF HONOR HOWEVER NOT UNTIL IT SITS ON THE BACK OF A QUALITY HORSE AND IS RIDDEN IN AND WARMED UP DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY
THE VISALIA STOCK SADDLE HAS EARNED THE REPUTATION OF THE BEST SADDLE BUILT ANY WHERE ANY TIME!!!!
Who ever built this rig has added 17\" rough out tapaderos,
More thatlikely he or she rode the roughcountry anddidn\'t want achunk ofchaparralshoved between boot andstirrup.
They are part of the story of this saddle. As well as a couple of the nicks andchincks here and there from a tree rub or spur across the cantle
These are brush strokes across the canvas that make up the story of this very cool saddle.
The Beautiful Sterling Conchos on this saddle are very classy and just enough to add thatpersonal touch.
