Got my saddle parked in the house too. Hope it can stay there... I don't enjoy riding as much as I used to.

Ha ha ha! grin

You married one of them city girls, din'tcha? smile
Posted By: SamOlson Re: Barry's new house? - 04/18/20
Truth be known yes.

But I'd have to agree with her. Packin' the saddle in and out of the house would piss even me off....

Probably find a fricken mouse nest in one of the saddle bags.....lol


It ain't as clean as need be for living in the house.

Charlie, if you want to argue politics up on the freak show, that's one thing.

We treat each other nice down here, and on the food section.

I actually traded my horse for a Mule (Kawasaki type) awhile back.

I don't have to gather cows twice a year on 200 sections anymore.

Cows follow the Mule around now. wink

Riding a horse became a 4 letter word for me long ago.... w-o-r-k. laugh
Posted By: SamOlson Re: Barry's new house? - 04/18/20
Around a dozen times horseback a year here.

ATV/UTV 90% of the time.

Good point! Will comply.

I missed that earlier.

Richard, you make a fine regulator!



Side track now on the nice house but still relevant.

Barry, the Russell print you have on the wall was a rendition of an actual event. It took place about 20 miles west of where we run most of our cows(some deeded but mostly BLM/CMR...). Over towards Timber Creek, look at a map and it's on the northwest side of Fort Peck reservoir.

My dad knows the story. A guy by the name of Frank Howe roped the bear.

It is one of my favorite Russell paintings.



Sweet pad man!




Don, we need a pic of Fin in the house!
Posted By: JohnGlenn Re: Barry's new house? - 04/18/20
Yeah. That saddle is cool. Practical as well. Your pistol is ready to go if you need it.
Posted By: chlinstructor Re: Barry's new house? - 04/18/20
Nice Barry!!!

Love the Charles Russell print. He and Remington are my two favorite artists!

And We traded our horses for 4-Wheelers and a Polaris Ranger YEARS ago. They don’t buck, kick, bite, or die. And you don’t have to feed em. 🤠
Posted By: 44mc Re: Barry's new house? - 04/18/20
hunts thats good looking set up also.i just got the saw/ traps/ horns/ hog & gator skulls . saddle went with the horse years ago
Posted By: roundoak Re: Barry's new house? - 04/18/20
Nice looking house, Barry. Envious of the Western motif and saddle.

I got a saddle as far as the shop/reloading room. My wife is OK with big game mounts, but was not too crazy about me dragging a saddle into the living quarters. frown

Huntsman22, evening, I can name almost all of your collection but can't tell what the copper or brass canister thing is by the crate??? That right there is a mans house or room !!! It looks like my kitchen when I lived on 36 acres. Or Dads living room before he past. Great decor man. Have a good weekend guys. Bill out. 🐾👣🐾👣🇨🇦
Posted By: huntsman22 Re: Barry's new house? - 04/19/20
gwp, it's just a brass based copper pot with an extended neck and pour spout. Was my great grandma's. Have no clue what she used it for other than heating laundry water, as I also have her washboards.

Nice digs, Barry!

I'd like to know how you fellers get your saddles purty enough to be inside!!

Thanks guys!


I just blew the dust off mine with my air compressor hose...

Don't tell my wifey to look at the underside of the saddle blanket though. wink

That is sharp. The "rusticness" of all of the wood is really nice.
Posted By: woods_walker Re: Barry's new house? - 04/19/20
Beautiful home you built there rockinbbar! The decor sure is inviting.

The pictures of everyones collections are impressive.

Round Oak, sure like your repurposing of that milk can as a saddle stand for that handsome Wade (I think).

And lastly, if I could link a song for us Charlie Russell fans and I can't, I'd share a favorite of mine from Will Dudley, "The Gift", off of Colorado Horses 2003.

Neat place. I really like the materials you used.
Posted By: Kenlguy Re: Barry's new house? - 04/20/20
And you even let the dog have his own chair!

Good Man!
Posted By: SockPuppet Re: Barry's new house? - 04/20/20
Great looking pad! I really like that kitchen arrangement.
Posted By: Ralphie Re: Barry's new house? - 05/07/20
I haven’t been down here in awhile. The house is great.

I got to keep my saddle in the house...once...for one night...the day after it showed up brand new in the box 😀

The humidity down here will rot leather PDQ if left out in the barn/tackroom.

Had to pay to get new wools put on my old Big Bend Saddlery saddle before. (Those saddles are so expensive, and expensive to have fixed right, that I started hunting a corner in the climate controlled house.) wink
