Very nice Crates’ show or equitation Western saddle. Crates’ archives list this saddle as being made in 1992, full QH bars, 15.5ins, C plate. Equi-Fit. In great condition.
The Crates name in the Western saddlery industry dates back over 75 years to the 1940s, when Robert H. Crates joined T. Fletcher Sims in building Sims Collar & Leather Company in Chattanooga, Tennessee, established in 1932, into world-wide distributor and industry leader, Simco Leather Company. Robert Crates, a mid-westerner from Ohio moved south during the Great Depression, purchasing the small manufacturer of harness, horse collars, and miners equipment with Mr. Sims.
