About This Piece of Custom Tack
Pony Express Saddle
This saddle was used by express riders between April 1860 and October 1861.
Pony express riders delivered mail between the Missouri River and the Pacific Coast. The "Mochila," a leather blanket of sorts, fit securely over the saddle and was kept in place by the rider's weight. It featured four "cantinas" (pockets) where the mail was securely padlocked.
The "Mochila" offered an easy and quick removal onto a fresh horse at remount stations, as the U.S. Mail was relayed across the prairies.
Package includes:
Western Bridle
Pony Express Saddle
Monchila (saddle cover w/ pockets)
Saddle Blanket
All saddles are:
100% genuine Leather
100% Individually Custom-Made
100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
Numbered for authenticity
Treated with leather protection
Each Saddle and Accessory Custom Made for You.
Whether you are outfitting your model horse for the show ring, your shelf at home, or a scene you have created, these custom-made saddles will put the finishing touch on your model horse.
When collectors add Barbara's leather artwork to their vintage collection of Johnny West horses (1:6 scale), Breyer Traditional-sized model horses (1:9 scale), or other beautifully-created model horses (some, such as the "Dragon" horse or Luis Aguilar's spectacular custom horses, are large 1:6 scale), the results are breathtaking!
Model tack sizes
