    Thank you so much for this video. I have always loved hearing people's stories. As a young physical therapist I moved from PA to CO. I had older patients who told stories of crossing the plains in covered wagons as children, riding in stage coaches to get from Pueblo to Denver. People's lives are fascinating if we take the time to listen.

    I enjoyed seeing the family saddles and hearing the stories.
    I worked in a custom saddle shop and always enjoyed restoring well made antique saddles.
    They were definitely built to work hard and last.
    The homemade buck rolls. The bear trap and the old tree styles.
    The 3/4 or 5/8 rigs on the square skirt saddle, the in-skirt rigging on the Hamley saddle, oxbow stirrups and loop through seat was cool.
    Fine collection!
    Reminded me of the saddle museum at Kings saddlery
    Cool stuff!
    Great video!

    I went to a huge auction about 40 years ago and found a custom made bronc saddle with the metal horn. Bought it for $120 and it was the best saddle for my lower back. As a young girl, I had a few nasty horse wrecks so was real happy to find a comfortable ride. I still use this saddle. And yes, when you get popped out this rig, you really don't know where you will land.

  • @Hy-Brasil
    @Hy-Brasil Рік тому +3

    i agree with him on milking.... we only have one cow - hereford/highlander, with only three working udders. but she makes more than plenty. feed the pigs, chickens, pour it over dog scraps, and still have enough for bottlefed lambs or goats AND your bowl of cereal or whatever recipe you're working on.
    i also have milk goats...i dont think either species is "easier" than the other though. it depends on how tame they are. most days our cow is easy, but we almost had a bad day when the barn cat was hanging around UNDER her, waiting for his share... she moved her foot and stepped right on him. he curled up over the foot like a pissant and bit the crap out of her. that launched her forward like a rocket, right where my son was standing. i was beside her doing the milking. everyone and everything went in all directions.
    the cat was ok.... and so was the cow btw..... nothing is worse than a cat bite. i was worried she might get an infection in that foot but i guess their hide really is thick enough to handle it!
    and yeah i'd still rather go through that than a grocery store.

Even pugs for a while. He was flood irritating over 200 acres as well as butchering for himself and other people. That generation were tough hard working men and women.

    I was in my neighbor's barn to see some calves and saw a saddle. They didn't have horses. So I asked if he used to ride. He looked confused and then seemed surprised to see the saddle. "Oh that. That was my grandpa's." It hasn't been used in decades.
    Their house and barns are filled with things from their grandparents, who were the original homesteaders. There's a lot of history out in the prairies still.

Thanks for the latest video and a great day there in that barn - what a great way to spend a day!!

    The old bear trap saddles were the first ones used in rodeo. The Cowboys Turtle Association. They were outlawed because they were deemed an unfair advantage. That's when they went to the Association Saddle. All bronc riders had to use the same Saddle to make things fair. The early using saddles were narrow because the horses were mostly of Thourobred blood. The Quarter horses were'nt used until the 30s &;40s.
