Parade Set for Sale

I puttered around this rainy Monday by visiting some of the local antique stores - it's so nice to be on winter break and be able to do so! I found a couple of things but left them behind (except for a horse planter like one my grandmother had; for $2 that came home with me!)

My favorite discovery was this:

 A western parade set! It was marked as being from the 1900s, but I think it's more likely the saddle is from the 1940s/50s.

 At $1250, it wasn't coming home with me, but I could still stand there and appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship.

My favorite part?

These headstall decorations!
