Re: [RC] Abercrombie Triple T and the Sharon Saare - Barbara McCrary

I cannot speak with certainty, but I'd bet that Sharon designed her saddle before anyone else did. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I bought one in around 1972, one of her first saddles. I hadn't heard of any other endurance saddles before that, or even for several years after that. If someone knows differently, I'm willing to be corrected.

I honestly had and have no idea which came first, never knew Abercrombie so have no allegience. Never rode either saddle but my neighbor who worked for Big Horn used to saw the horn off a barrel racing tree to make "endurance saddles" and it looked a heck of a lot like both so it wasn't exactly a radical design. The thing Sharon did (at least it seemed to me) that was different and better than others is to offer different trees and NAME THEM so you could convey to someone across the country just which tree this was, which I believe makes the used ones far more marketable. I never understood why Desoto wouldn't do that. You could ask someone about their Desoto but it was very difficult to know which tree was in it. By the way, the *style* of the Desoto is much like the Saare, as are *many* other saddles on the market.
