Hi Linda!

 

Thanks for getting back to me :) As far as I know, my saddle is from a Prescott, Arizona saddlemaker named Ellis Upchurch. Mine is a roping saddle, but the similarities are spooky! Right down to concho placement and the shape of the forks, they look identical. I'm not sure when mine was made, but I would wager that the 1960's aren't a bad guess. I've had mine for about 10 years now, and it looks as good as the day I got it, even after all it's been through.

 

Interesting :)

Hi Ashley

I am afraid that I don't know the name of the saddle maker. This saddle was purchased from Sayles Saddlery in Calgary in 1966. It is a western pleasure "Little Wonder Tree". We bought this saddle new.

This is an odd question that you may not have the answer to, but do you know what brand that saddle is? It looks exactly like mine, and I've never been able to find any info on the maker/any other saddles he made. :)
