Location: Oklahoma City OK | A friend has a trophy saddle that was awarded to the 1929 Pendleton Rodeo Roping champion - we're interested to know who won it and had the saddle originally. Anybody have any idea how to find that information? Thanks for any direction you can offer. |

Thanks! I thought it might have been him, since I read somewhere that he was the 1929 All Around Champion at Pendleton. We're putting together a neat story about that saddle - I appreciate the responses! |

They should have some good info on Mr Truitt, as he was inducted into the PRU Hall of Fame in 1997.

Location: A Higher Elevation | I know the saddle isn't for sale, but they should make sure that it is taken care of in case something happens. Will it to the PRU Hall of Fame, National Cowboy Hall of Fame, PRCA HOF, or something like that...
