Re: RC: Mcclelland saddles

[Teddy Lancaster <teddy@runningbear.com>]

Take the "d" off..they are McClellan saddles.  I have ridden one off and on
(depending on the horse) for 30 years. I used to buy and recondition them,
but not more.  They are getting scarcer and scarcer (at least the REAL
military ones are).  I loved them.  Put me in a good position and are VERY
lightweight.  I only have ONE horse it still fits. They are VERY narrow and
extra padding will only make it worse. So use ONLY on narrow horses (my horse
is an "A" Sharon Saare tree). price dependent solely on what the seller
thinks it is worth and what a buyer is willing to pay....$150 and up I would
say...
