Description
A few weeks ago I got together with some friends for a trail ride. We had loads of fun! I hadn't been on a horse for about 30 years, but I did okay. We rode for two hours, and then I took a hot shower, popped a couple of asprin, napped for an hour, and I was fine. (Okay, MOSTLY fine. My legs were a little sore for a day or two. Not bad for an old broad!)
Here you have part of a saddle.
What ... you expected me to show you the whole thing??

wonderful intricate detail, excellent crop!
LOL, silly us, thinking we'd see the WHOLE thing!!! Beautiful detail, though, the leatherwork is gorgeous!!
LOL... I immediately got terrible pain across the whole region when I read your narrative...I also haven't been on a horse for 30+ years... Ouch!!! Your image - amazing... I can smell leather when I look at it! Fantastic detail dear Tara and of course, typically auntie - fantastic light!!! Well done you old broad!! LMAO!!!! Blaas 'n soen
nice shot ... sure it was the legs only? ... ;)
Great shot lovely detail and great leather work.
Very cool shot!!
Excellent detail shot.
I don't think we could stand seeing the entire saddle - just give us little pieces like this showing that wonderful patina so we can absorb it a bit at a time!
I find changing gear on a horse problematic. I used to take a few girls from a drug rehab riding as their 'reward'. I got 'too good' for the trot string, and our instructor move my fellow leader and myself into the 'canter string'; the only problem was I couldn't get Blue, my mount, to do anything the horse in front wasn't doing. Blue was half Welsh cob, half Suffolk Punch, and extremely broad backed. "SQUEEZE Blue between your thighs, Andrea," she called. Mmmm. So she came alongside, and said to the horse 'Canter on', with which we took off, with me like a chiffon scarf in the wind, and my fellow leader brushed off on a bush and on his back in the heather. Look what memories your astonishing and beautiful photo called up! We do have a Western Style riding school nearby, maybe I'll try that!
Yes it does envoke memories...now wondering where my saddles were put...I'll have to ask!!
WHW That must have been wonderful. This is a beautiful capture. :-)))

Brings John Wayne and Clint Eastwood immediately to mind. Expect me to show you the whole thing? Love it. Great pic...I'd know who shot this anywhere, any time:)
Tara, Beautiful shot of the amazing detail of the saddle. Your lighting is perfection. Excellent shot!
AmaZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzing clarity and details!

Very special.The details are fabulous and may be i can imagine the whole thing...:))))Excellent photo.
Fantastic photo! it's been about 30 years for me since I rode!
Oh God, I remember that pain!!!! I'll bet you had a blast! GREAT shot here.. I love it!
The last time I went riding it wasn't my legs that were sore! I've been wishing I could go riding again but I doubt that this old broad could even get her leg slung across the saddle. Guess I'll stick to merry go rounds with the kids. A great photo and I've loved reading the comments of others.
yea ..show us the whole thing!!! I love trail rides!!
Wonderful Work!!!!
wonderful looking
