The Art & Story of Stampede Saddles
July 6 - July 30, 2023
Contemporary Calgary is pleased to present The Art & Story of Stampede Saddles.
Saddles come in many different styles, shapes and sizes. They can be practical, for hard work on the ranch, impressive works of art, and everything in between. Each has its own character and story and was manufactured by both local saddle makers like Riley & McCormick, or further afield like Hamley & Co.
These eight saddles, on loan from the Calgary Stampede Collection & Archives, represent a range of time periods and stories, from the very first Stampede in 1912 to almost the present day.
