My Collection Is Growing

Posted January 9th, 2012.

I collect horse racing saddles.  Call me weird if you want to, but we all have to have a hobby that we enjoy.  Along with actually caring for horses, which is my job by the way, I find the collection of these saddles to be a satisfying and rewarding hobby.  I love to find rare saddles in particular and saddles from famous horses or races.  It gives me a satisfied feeling to see them all hanging up in a row on the barn wall.  Plus I am saving for my retirement in the mean time, as one or several of these barrel racing saddles might actually be worth a tidy sum some day.  This is my hobby, and I very well enjoy it, even if it does make my wife roll her eyes at me sometimes.
