“Sheltering in Place” with Hermès

[jimmie staton]

This is my old saddle. I haven’t used it in 20+ years. Nor have I cleaned it or polished the silver (obviously!). I left it at a friends ranch for his granddaughter to use.....but she never did. I think I should go out and clean it up....but thinking I should and actually doing it, are two very different things! Still, when the bag arrived, I took it out to the ranch for photos, despite my friend thinking I’d lost my mind. The bag, the saddle & the rider....we’re all happily vintage!

Giddy-Up with Hermes diane278 !

can your metal-men security team ride them?

Just read your post and tried them. Nope. Their leg span isn’t wide enough...but I still have some coming....so maybe those will work.....

Some eye candy. I just adore anemone
It’s a beautiful day and kind of itching to get my bags back out.

I LOVE anemone also! An anemone CDC w/GHW was my first H purchase. So beautiful!

MMs will wrangle, no doubt.

I haven’t seen anemone irl, but I’m betting I’d love it, too. The photos are always stunning....

Thank you! I love seeing your crafty pieces of art. I've never been a crafty one myself, but seeing yours may inspire me to give a try one of these days.

thank you for enjoying my pieces
This is one of my favorites so far. It is keeping me happy and make me younger 20 years

Did you design a new shape for the face masks? It doesn’t look like any I’ve seen before.....the light summery look is refreshing.. .

Channelling Pampelmuse! This mug is a gift from a lovely friend a couple of years ago and has followed me and Kelly ever since!

So happy to see another Western rider here! My saddle was similarly tooled but black and sadly now long gone along with my beloved Arabian/Quarter gelding. It would have been the perfect companion for my noir chèvre Birkin 30, even without the tooled silver hardware! Thanks so much for the inspired memories!

Cheered me up too!

Thank you Cookiefiend. Your avatar name cheers me up too

Wow diane278, love this photograph. And your saddle looks well loved and well used. Bet you miss riding. Thanks for sharing.

@27leborse,
You’re the first Western rider I’ve run across on tpf! Central California was full of ranches in the 60’s. My first horse was also a Quarter gelding. My saddle only survived because I left it on a horse ranch. Growing up with horses was wonderful, although I didn’t realize what a privilege it was at the time. No one else in my family rode, but I think it’s part of my DNA now. The memories are good, aren’t they?!
