It will be stocked with side saddle odds and ends I come across in my travels and stuff I don't need (still deciding whether to keep an off-side apron I bought which has a 28" waist in the hopes of getting down from a 34" waist!!!).
One of the things I have decided to part with (with a very heavy heart too as I'll probably end up needing it one day!), is a vintage Champion & Wilton side saddle numnah of which I have never seen another.

The date is unknown but C&W list them in their 1938- 1939 catalog (shown here) for £2 and 10 shillings but there are similar ones are listed in the late 1880's Mosemans catalog from the US but for astride saddles.

I think I may need to place some orders with you. :)
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteLeila, do you have any numnahs in stock that are nice enough to show in? My manorgrove is 18" UK measurement.
ReplyDeleteNumnahs are on their way to you Robin! :) I've got one of each color for Hattie's saddles and I'm going to use the white one for dressage and the brown one for showing classes.
