Joseph E. Johnston Style Hope SaddleThis Hope Saddle on the left is similar to the one that Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston was riding at Seven Pines. Hope saddles were popular from the 1850s through the 1890s and recommended for use in the Confederacy during the last half of the War. Many Southerners rode to battle on Hope saddles that they brought from home. These saddles were also popular in the North - Union General Hugh Kilpatrick used one.On this saddle we have used heavy harness leather throughout, from the half seat to the full underskirts, fenders, and hooded stirrups. It also has border stamping, brass ringing dees, and decorative rigging. Brass tacks are used to secure the seat.
This saddle is available in black or russet leather. Edward L. Gallatin Style Hope SaddleThis elegant Hope Saddle on the right is inspired by the Edward L. Gallatin saddles. Gallatin studied under Thornton Grimsley in St. Louis, Missouri. He was producing saddles in Denver, Colorado during the early 1860's. Union General Hugh Kilpatrick is reported to have ridden a Hope saddle that had many similarities to this design. This Hope has a full seat with jockeys, full underskirts, fenders and hooded stirrups. It has a wide front rigging and a decorative cap. A beautiful border stamping graces the heavy US harness leather that is used throughout. There are heavy steel rigging rings, and brass footman stands / loops and breast collar rings.
This Hope is not only beautiful, but it is extremely comfortable to ride. It is available in black or russet leather. The girth and surcingle are added by default by the shopping cart, so these saddles are ready to ride. (Also available without the girth and surcingle.) NOTE: the surcingle is part of the engineering design of this saddle, although not absolutely necessary for use, it is a safety item and we DO HIGHLY recommend its use. Normal delivery time is 6 to 8 weeks.
