LEGENDARY 1870’S STOCK SADDLE
AND ACCOUTERMENTS
PROCEEDS BENEFIT ABUSED CHILDREN
In the midst of a thunder storm, at
5 p.m. on Saturday, June 26, 2010, at the 29th Annual END of
TRAIL, The World Championship of Cowboy Action Shooting and Wild West
Jubilee held at Founder’s Ranch, New Mexico, the drawing for The
Legendary 1870’s Stock Saddle and accouterments was held. Miss Ginny
Mac, the young and very talented singer/song writer/musician from Ft.
Worth, TX who along with her band was performing at END of TRAIL,
reached deep into the raffle drum and drew out the winning ticket stub,
#1336. Tammie Durfey, SASS Life Member #19,727, alias Oklahoma Gold, of
Beaver, OK was the lucky winner.
Tammie is a winning mounted
shooter, CMSA Life Member Card #278. A Senior Ladies Level 4 competitor,
she lives on a ranch, is a working cowgirl handling cattle almost daily,
owns and trains horses, is an announcer for arena sports and activities,
and has traveled throughout the country competing in mounted shooting
matches. She is one very happy winner and has already put the saddle to
good use on the ranch and in the arena on her good Paint horse, Cowboy
Gold.
“To say I was thrilled would be
putting it mildly. I have purchased Happy Trails tickets in various
drawings for several years with the hope of winning but more with the
idea of helping a worthy cause. To win anything is special but a prize
like this is truly a blessing,” stated Tammie.
The legendary and magnificent 1870’s Colorado style
stock saddle was made by superb saddle maker and leather artist, Will Ghormley of Des Moines, IA. Included with the saddle were a Calvary pattern
combination halter/bridle complete with a replica Calvary bit, reins, lead
strap, and Officer’s rosettes. Also included were a pair of matching single
strap saddle pockets; a breast strap with a brass heart in the center; a rifle
scabbard with an EMF Model 92 .45 Colt lever action rifle with an octagon
barrel; a saddle blanket and period correct grass rope lariat. Also included was
a unique custom deluxe oak saddle stand hand crafted by Terry Kirk.
