VERY RARE Vintage Custom Western Saddle made by notorious Saddle Maker Frank Vela from Floresville, TX. He was a notorious custom artistic saddle maker in the 1920's to the mid 1950's.
His artistic talent really showed through the intricate detailing of the designs in the leather of each saddle he made. He was known not only locally, but also had a high demand of his quality of craftsmanship internationally.
This particular saddle comes with ALL accessories including two vintage saddle pads, a saddle blanket, stirrups  with custom covers,  made by the Sanchez Saddle Company out of Van Alstyne, TX, two sets of reins, a bit , and a few other pieces I don't know the terms to call them. I appreciate vintage everything but don't own a horse and don't know too much about saddles, so please ask me any questions you may have or provide any info you may know of this style of saddle and/or Frank Vela (Francisco Vela) from Floresville, Texas. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO PURCHASING TO ASSURE SATISFACTION OF TRANSACTIONTHANKS. GOOD LUCK
