    Over the years I've always looked at how the old barns and sheds were constructed. The timbers in this barn are simply beautiful. On a side note, I ride an iron horse and don't ever let my guard down.

    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.
    The West has a treasure trove of stories - from the past and present!!!

    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.

Great stories Trinity! Thank you so much!

    I’ve never met an old Cowboy that wasn’t busted up. God bless the Cowboy. That tack shed, if it could yarn, could sure tell some stories i think. Thanks fellas. Oh dear, (@5:26) the man says the saddle was from the Dr who delivered his Ma, a Powder River saddle. I only just now finished watching ‘Powder River’ (TH-cam) 1953! Small circle we horseman.

  • @CrossTimbersSon
    @CrossTimbersSon ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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 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.

    Sure wished they would bring those saddles in and protect them better. Would love to know the history and wished there was some of the people who rode in them were still around…can you imagine the stories they would tell us!!!
    I’ve done a lot of research on my family and was amazed to what I found out and where we came from and where we came into America 🇺🇸.
    Keep up the great work…sure love what your doing…stay safe and God bless 🥰.

    As a daughter of a dairy farmer… it’s a 24/7. By the time you get the milking, feeding and cleaning… it was time to start all over…. You have to love the life!!!! No vacations…. You start at 3am…. Your work ends at maybe 2:30…Then it starts up again at 3/3:30….

    They stories that he shared with you make me miss my father-in-law he would tell me about when he was a kid and then a young farmer/ rancher he was very diverse he had beef, milk cows and sheep. 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.

Loved the story of the gentleman who passed on in his saddle! I hope you continue to find these ol leather polishers and bring out the real people of yester-year. Thanks for the latest video and a great day there in that barn - what a great way to spend a day!!
