Great thread. I would love to own a couple and ride the Ruby mountains and such. Besides it would save some years off my life trying to get where the big bucks live.

I never realized how big the mule-thing was until visiting family in Bishop, CA., for Mule Days.

Looks like an endurance saddle. "Endurance horse saddles are lightweight saddles that are built for close contact in mind. They are meant for endurance riding and trail riding. Typically endurance saddles are made with extra padded comfort for the rider and a flexible design that moves with the horse in order to make the saddle more comfortable for the horse."

A number of people in Montana use a saddle that looks like this. I've heard it referred to as a McClellan saddle, but I don't know if that's accurate. I only rode hunt seat, so that's the only one I'm totally familiar with.

Julie, That is a Tucker Trooper saddle. When running dogs you will be in the saddle for 8 to 10 hrs a day and the padded seat is a great benifit. BTW it is for sale.

Vicky, More than likely I know the guys you met. I used to travel all over the east coast running trials. Glad I don't do that anymore.
The horse is a TWH.

Wow Tim, does that mare have Carolina Joy in her ped? I had a TB mare that looked very much like yours by that horse. This was over 25 years ago, so she would not be around any longer and probably if related would be further up the pedigree:D

Beautiful mare and foal.

I don't have any horses on the place. There used to be some many years ago when my Grandmother would ride. She was part of the Austin County Sheriff's Posse, a horseback drill team. Now that was some cool stuff. They did like Square dancing routines on horseback. I was just a little girl and had a Shetland pony named Buckaroo. Ssometimes I got to ride around the arena after their performance at some fairgrounds. She also used to ride the Salt Grass Trail Ride every February - back before everybody slept in fancy campers....they had sleeping bags strapped to the back of their saddles and slept under the stars... rain, snow, or shine.

My Other Passion..Horses.
Red's Starlight daughter of Bay Starlite out of a Doc's Prescription mare. Shown here as a Three Year old in the All American QH Congress Reining Futurity. She is not only a fantastic Show Horse in Reining, Reined Cow Horse but has carried me up and over Mountains and Ranges in Arizona and out West. She carries the roan factor.

Shiners Tivio..Daughter of Shining Spark(Carol Rose's Stud) out of Teresa Tivio(Bobby Lewis's mare) She was my reining and reined cowhorse mare.. I bred her to Whizard Jac and she had a foal Sparkling Whizard in 2002. Shiner now lives in Switzerland and I give Shiner the credit of building my Indoor Arena. One Fantastic huge hearted Quarter Horse and the most challanging horse to show in reining..because you had to stay 2 steps ahead of her mentally or she would out think you.

No, her sire is Sky Classic and she's out of an Afleet mare. I checked and the horse mentioned isn't in her ped.

what?!!?? there's nothin to hold on to on that thing! then again, nothin' to smash the man-bags when they hit the brakes instead of the gas.....too many times off the side, superman'd over the ears, back off the rump-----don't own horses for a reason--can't ride worth beans..

owned one growing up and worked a cutting horse ranch for a few years---spent most my time on the Polaris...haha

I guess the name just caught my eye! Anyway, here is an old photo of my Carolina Joy mare. Her registered name was Sign of Joy, but we called her Suzy:)! She was normally a very bright bay, in this photo she was clipped for hunting.
