"Barely" post war photo of saddles from Southern town

[Ronnie Tucker]

Now you're catching on. Especially in the south, everything was used from bridles to uniforms. Times were hard and money was scarce, and that's the reason there is so little surviving war materials. If it was of practical use, it was used until not needed or worn out. Then it was discarded. Ronnie Tucker 7 th Tn

...stuff no longer needed or worn out here in the south wasn't discarded. It was placed carefully on the front porch next to grandma's worn-out Kenmore washing machine.

I don't know how I missed this thread when it was first posted several years ago. It's an amazing image and one of the best I've seen posted here. There are at least three long earred equines in this pic, all grouped together, and my guess is that the most obvious, the third from the left, is actually a large donkey rather than a mule. The two next to him appear to be mules. Outstanding variety of saddles!
