[RC] Sharon Saare and Triple T - Sharon Saare

To clear up the questions....yes...I started my Sharon Saare Saddles with
the original Big Horn Saddle Company...which is not related to the
current Big Horn....other than that current company bought the name after
Big Horn closed its doors.
I started with them in 1972.  No one cut off the horn to make a fork.  It
was a new design because at that time no horn western style saddles were
not "socially acceptable".
Abercrombie bought some of my A trees and started his version of my
saddles called the Triple T.   The primary difference was that he padded
the back half of the seat, leaving the front half open like a McClellan.
Mac had several errors on his original design...as we all did......and
when Big Horn closed, I talked to him about us doing a joint venture.  He
was agreeable...in fact very enthusiastic.  I showed him some corrections
to make, and after that he never was "available" to do  that joint
venture.  Thus....he missed out entirely on the tree development that I
have done over the past 35 years.  I have said for a long time, saddles
are like a communication.  The leather is the envelope, but the tree is
the message.  I have kept on developing the message.  Several copies and
attempted copies of my equipment are stuck in what I produced 25 and 30
years ago.
