Cavalcade of American Saddles

Cavalcade of American Saddles is a pocket gallery displaying more than five hundred years of American history. The western saddle evolved through many decades of improvement and specialization. This visual masterpiece documents that journey.

Phil Livingston's precise watercolor paintings and his deep knowledge of American western history come together to beautifully illustrate and describe the transformation of western saddles.

Livingston studied details of construction in early models and the techniques of pioneer saddle makers. Most of his paintings were based on existing historic saddles from public and private collections. His lifetime immersion in saddlemaking and horsemanship makes him uniquely qualified to explain this history to the rest of us.

History buffs, horsemen, art aficionados, and those who just like something old and new, at the same time, will love this book.
