| Saddle, 1950s
Edward Bohlin
Henry Rushing Smith used this classic silver-encrusted saddle made by Edward H. Bohlin when he rode his palomino horse in Fiesta parades. Bohlin became known as saddlemaker to the stars after he moved his company from Cody, Wyoming to Los Angeles in the early 1920s. Tom Mix and Gene Autry were among the stars who used his gear.
