Spanning time and technique, The Art Of The Western Saddle is a celebration and visual feast of the graceful artistry of the western saddler and his craft. Filled with detailed photographs and illustrations, this book celebrates the saddle as a decorative hallmark of subtle beauty while fulfilling the utility of its principal purpose. Illustrated with historic and contemporary examples of saddle style and decoration, The Art Of The Western Saddle highlights the work of makers such as Visalia Stock Saddle Company, Porter, Hampley, Edward H. Bohlin, McCabes, and Keyston Bros., along with contemporary makers such as Chas Weldon, Dale Harwood, Chuck Stormes, Don Butler, Chuck Treon, Jeremiah Watt, and many others. Many saddles of the stars are featured from the golden age of the Hollywood Western; these include outfits belonging to the Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Barbara Stanwyck, Ken Maynard, and Buck Jones.
Bill Reynolds is the associate publisher of Cowboys & Indians magazine. He wrote The Cowboy Hat Book and coauthored The Faraway Horses and Believe: A Horseman's Journey with Montana horseman Buck Brannaman.
