Grandma B's Tack

 My Grandma grew up on a ranch in California. She kept a lot of my families tack through the years. Before she died she gave me 2 bridles and breast collar and horse sheets. After she died Grandpa B thought it was fitting for me to have her beloved saddles. My daughter now rides her horse in Great-Grandma B's fancy black Western Saddle. It is so special that 4 generations have shared these pieces.
