Re: [RC] Mule saddles, Ed - heidi

Miss Wilson (3rd grade teacher) told me that my poor spelling and hand
writing would come back to haunt me.  She was wrong about the hand
writing (who could have predicted personal computers in 1950), but right
about spelling.  Breeching is the proper spelling, and yes it is
pronounced "britch'n" in MT.

In your defense, Ed, Joe Back (who wrote HORSES, HITCHES, AND ROCKY
TRAILS, aka "The Packer's Bible") does defer to "proper English" and calls
it a "breeching" as well.  <g>  But I've seen it written as "britchen" in
this neck of the woods more times than I can count...  ;-)  So I just had
to josh you about it...

It's one of those deals like how a "jaquima" became a "hackamore", etc...
