Civil War 1859 McClellan Officer Saddle

MCCLELLAN OFFICER'S SADDLE
My good friend Doug Locke, D.V.M., loaned me General John Wilson Sprague's saddle from his personal collection to use as a guide to reproduce the Civil War Officers McClellan saddle. I am excited to be able to offer a reproduction of this historic, battle-ridden civil war saddle.

Also, I can make a replica of the officer grade headstall, breast strap, and leather valise included with General Spragues saddle collection. This saddle is covered in black "fair" leather, has brass moldings over pommel and cantle, and a padded seat. Pigskin is used on the seat and is fancy stitched, same as the original. It is a replica of those used by many generals during the Civil War and after. Hair padding under the leather seat, English or 1859 girth rigging, coat straps, iron hardware, covered stirrups, skirts, fenders and girth. Wooden saddle tree covered in rawhide.
