A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Wasn't this for the movie days? The American saddle I think was T.V. Your taste was slicker.
Dianne,
My taste was not slicker. I tried to paint an old saddle red, white, and blue when I was younger with a brush. Damn thing never dried, and is probably still wet.
In other early movies he used a plain roping type saddle with a fleece covered breast collar. The signature Bohlin silver Dickson model saddle pictured here he first used on Trigger in movies in late 1942 and it was used almost exclusively from then on in movies and TV series till the end of his career. I have a DVD of him using a different saddle in a half dozen films. It looks like a Bohlin, but I can't find out anything about it, and it had tapaderos. In the late 40's, he acquired several of the white saddles, (were they leather or plastic of some type) that he used extensively in personal appearances from about 1949 till the end of his career.

When I asked Roy about the American Saddle he said they were plastic and they didn't hold up well that's why it wasn't on display.
