An Antique Stirrup
About a year ago a very sweet sidesaddle enthusiast and blog reader sent me an antique sidesaddle stirrup. It is so unique and tiny that my big ole foot would not dare to fit into it! Ever since I received that gift, I have always paused when I find different examples of them, either in antique stores or on web sight and of coarse ...E-bay!

That is amazing! Can't find detail like that in more modern equipment.
ReplyDeleteI would venture a guess that little stirrup never saw much more action than a slow jog down Rotten Row!
ReplyDeleteMakes me wish I was living in times before plastic, you know, when people took pride in what they made.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous!
