Fancy Ted Flowers Parade Rig with serape. This incredible saddle is a part of several models that were available in the Ted Flower's catalog, specifically the, "Ted Flowers Special". Each of the numerous silver plates on the saddle and accessories features remarkable detailing. This one comes with the matching breast collar, headstall and serape - it's all there and ready to go! The seat measures 13 inches. The bridle is a standard horse size, the mouth on the bit measures 5 inches and overall 9 inches. Edward Anderson “Ted Flowers”(1914 – 1976) was a master craftsman who revolutionized the “blingy” parade saddle industry from his “The Spot Shop” workshop in Indiana. Cowboy legends such as Gene Autry and Roy Rogers landed their private planes at Alexandria’s Knott’s Airport just to visit The Spot Shop and order custom gear. Today, gear specifically engraved with “The Spot Shop Alexandria, IND” are highly coveted. They were among the few pieces he explicitly marked, making them rare “signed” masterpieces. His saddles remain the ultimate status symbol for collectors.
