When my son and I were driving from Phoenix to Nashville (in his 1991 red Isuzu Trooper), we stopped in OKC and wen through the museum. I loved the beautiful spurs and saddles.

My husband and his siblings rode a lot that way, too. When we were first married (I turned 21 right after we got married), I rode our old mare bareback all over. Then I switched to a saddle....but I learned a lot by riding bareback.<br /><br />I agree there's a great story in the Samaritan segment.

Just wanted to say how interesting this was--I don't know much about saddles, but learned a few things when I worked at the cowboy museum here in OKC--they have a lot of saddles there, and so many people who worked there knew a lot more than I did and were glad to teach me. <br /><br />Thanks for a very interesting post!<br /Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-55438315305262088492014-10-07T16:00:23.157-05:002014-10-07T16:00:23.157-05:00Hi Gail.

Most of my horse back riding as a kid was done bareback, so I know very little about how saddles came to be. Horse back trail rides was something our family loved to do while vacationing until recent years. I loved the information about the Sarmation people. There is a story there for sure. How would you like to be a woman back in those days?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396020400398531264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-14405788172772437332014-10-07T14:06:40.948-05:002014-10-07T14:06:40.948-05:00Gail,

As a 'horsey' person, I am interested in all things equestrian, and as a Brit I am even more interested in American tack.
