Good ol' days

That got me thinking about the farm and riding our horses and the old saddles - and wondering what happened to them.
Remember the old Army saddle? What was it called? McClellan saddle? This image sort of looks like it, doesn't it?
There were small brass loops to which things could be tied, like saddlebags.
Frankly, I liked the Western saddles better. They definitely were more comfortable.
Remember the little two-room cabin down by the barn? And the old barn itself? What do you suppose kept it from falling down?
