A friend of mine's truck wears a bumper sticker on its bumper:

"I wasn't born in Wyoming, but I got here as soon as I could."

That's every bit the way I feel about this forum so I'm resurrecting an older thread to share a special rig. A cowboy named Andy--somewhere in his late 70s or so--ran the Longhorn Saddle Shop while I was attending the University of Wyoming (post Air Force). He measured and made this rig for me. For many years he also made the white leather outfits worn by the ladies of the Cheyenne Frontier Days. Andy's gone now (RIP), but his memory lives on for those of us lucky enough to have a piece of his work.
