Since you guys are my only social network, I need to ask you for some help, especially the members in the Id, Wy, Mt, SD, ND areas.
On Thursday morning around 2AM my girlfriend K's horse trailer was broken into and three of her saddles were taken, along with some of her other tack, and some tools out of a shed in the yard. They were all Crates saddles, two were trail style, one was a roping saddle. They are easily identified by serial numbers and one was a special edition. All that I am asking is if you see or hear of someone trying to sell Crates saddles in the region and it sounds too good to be true, please contact me via PM. I have pictures and SN's to help id them if you think you may have located one. It is a long shot but I know the folks on here know what to look for and we have a broad network throughout the country. Thank you for the help.
She has been just devastated over this loss, she bought her two saddles when she had just started running her own operation and the third saddle was a limited edition that was bought for her grandmother by her grandfather who passed away this spring, so there is no way to put money to the value of that saddle for her. She also was using her roping saddle to barrel race in, and we had really been doing well in the first few races this spring, and now that has been taken away. This was one of the last few things we had left besides each other, and now it is gone.
The weird part is that they took three of six saddles in the trailer, and sorted through the bridles and took only a few, then went into the shed and took a junky leaf blower and cultivator and that's it. So why grab a $30-40 pawn shop item, but leave behind three saddles that were worth well over a grand apiece? Which leads us to believe this may have been personal.
Thanks again for listening to me and maybe someone will be able to locate them someplace! This has been an awful week, between this, losing a friend in a car wreck then finding out another friend is MIA out of his boat while fishing alone, and today is the day we lost my grandfather in 2009.
I guess I needed someplace to vent and you folks are the only one I have!
