<p>[QUOTE="Kasperscuriosities, post: 73128, member: 404"]Okay I have had this for around 10 years. I got it when my dad bought a house and the original owner couldn't retrieve it so he just left it. It was hanging about 20' up so it was a pain to get down which is why he left it. My dad didn't want it and asked if I wanted it since I am the horse fanatic of the family.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I sent my husband up a ladder to retrieve it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I haven't really seen anything like it but I am pretty sure I found it's other half at a high end steakhouse here in Austin. It was almost the exact same frame and backing but it was landscape instead of portrait.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was also hanging really high but I am 99% sure it was the other half of this saddle. I am almost positive it was made locally. Seems to make sense that the other half ended up in a local steakhouse. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have looked online and seen a similar idea but it was just a picture with no real info and the saddle itself was smaller and looked kind of fake. This thing is huge. it weighs as much as you would expect it to. So yeah it is heavy.

I don't really have the room for it in my current house and am considering adding it to one of my online auctions.

[QUOTE="Kasperscuriosities, post: 73128, member: 404"]Okay I have had this for around 10 years. I got it when my dad bought a house and the original owner couldn't retrieve it so he just left it. It was hanging about 20' up so it was a pain to get down which is why he left it. My dad didn't want it and asked if I wanted it since I am the horse fanatic of the family. Of course I sent my husband up a ladder to retrieve it. I haven't really seen anything like it but I am pretty sure I found it's other half at a high end steakhouse here in Austin. It was almost the exact same frame and backing but it was landscape instead of portrait. It was also hanging really high but I am 99% sure it was the other half of this saddle. I am almost positive it was made locally. Seems to make sense that the other half ended up in a local steakhouse. I have looked online and seen a similar idea but it was just a picture with no real info and the saddle itself was smaller and looked kind of fake. This thing is huge. it weighs as much as you would expect it to. So yeah it is heavy. The frame measures 36" x 30.5" The stirrup has a R with a circle around it but there really aren't any markings on it. I think it is an interesting piece and I am sure I could sell it. Would love to get some thoughts on it. I think it is kind of a unique piece. I don't really have the room for it in my current house and am considering adding it to one of my online auctions. I could see it going in a bar or something. :-) [ATTACH=full]18946[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18947[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18948[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]18949[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
