Long Description
Foss Brothers Saddle makers in Twinn Falls, Id. I have a saddle that has been pasted down to me. The story behind the saddle is my grandfather was drinking one night with a man named Herb Simmons. The traded saddles. I was told the Herb Simmons was a world champion bronc rider from the 1930's but I have yet to find his name.Â
The saddle is all original with brass rings and sheep skin. The only part that is not original is the stirrups. The ones that were original on there were damaged by a horse. The numbers on the saddle are 4599. It has been use. Last time it was used was 10 years ago. It needs leather conditioning and cleaned up.
