saddle. This is Scott Thomas's mare Doc Olena Sparkles aka "Lena"; a
double registered Paint /Quarter Horse. She is modeling another one of
the great saddles from Scott's collection. This saddle is a rare "brown" or
"tan" as it was called in the catalog. Ted Flowers set. Brown sets are hard to come by-- and this one has
some really unique features. If you look closely you will notice that this
saddle has 1776 - 1976 stamped into both the fenders and the jockeys. He
tells me that he has two sets of tapaderos for this saddle the ones shown
and the Bohlin like ones with less silver. He also shows the breast collar
and a less often seen martingale in these photos. Obviously whomever had
this saddle made wanted all the options! Thanks to Scott and Lena for
sharing the photos of this saddle!
