*Cowboy’s Review of Ralph Shimon saddle: “The saddle that I ride is a Ralph Shimon. It is the third one I've had, and I really like them. His saddles sure fit a horse. Anyway, I'd put in a good word for Ralph Shimon saddles. They feel good to both the cowboy and the horse, and that is what it is all about.” New Mexico.
