J.S. Collins opened a saddle shop in Omaha, Nebraska in 1864; Laramie, Wyoming in 1872; and Miles City, Montana in 1876. John Collins died in 1910. Collins copied the Cheyenne roll from Frank Meanea of Cheyenne, Wyoming.Collins saddles were considered some of the best in the mid to late 1800’s. This Collins saddle was built in the fall of 2004 by Dale Moore, Reid Flatten, and BlaineTucker in Belgrade, Montana. The saddle is the exact same as the famous and desirable 1870’s Collins saddle. The saddle is a half seat with front jockeys. The tree is a Weatherly that is almost exact to the treeCollins used. The saddle shows wonderful condition and is appears to have not been ridden. The seat is 15". The piece shows impressive craftsmanship with wonderful tooling across the entire saddle.This is from the Dale E. Moore Collection in Belgrade, Montana. Dale started and runs the Montana Horseman Saddle Building School. This piece is from his over 50 year collection of
