Artistic license be damned--The city of Buford, Georgia needs to be slapped.

The city of Buford erect a statue of Roy Rogers, Trigger and Jack Johnson, the last living Bona Allen saddle maker. In the late 1940s, Roy Rogers had a custom saddle made in the city of Buford. The Bona Allen factory also made custom saddles for the actors on the Bonanza show.

In an effort to hang paper for Bona Allen Saddles, arguably one of the finest saddles made, the "artist"(I prefer to call him a numbnuts), has managed to portray Trigger as a renegade, ill mannered horse who is fighting while he is being saddled. And an obviously inept horseman like Roy Rogers doesn't even have a halter or lead rope on this crazed stallion and instead tries to control the situation by waving his hand in Triggers face, like some goofy "whisperer." Worse yet, wait until Jack Johnson throws that saddle, on an obviously out of control Trigger with no restraint, and those Taps bang him in the belly. The Jackster is going to learn the definition of "sun fish" real quick. What a pile of garbage this monument is.
