Dear Ms Connell daughter of Ed Connell. How are you? I am fine and interested in the beautiful saddles shown in the 1979 Carroll catalog. On the front is Mr Ed Connell's cowboy mate Lee Wood with his young student who more than likely became a champion reining horse in the acceptable style developed by your father and his mentors all those years ago. He lives on as an instructor to the enthusiasts who yearn for the pleasure of riding their own vaquero mount. Here we too have had the privilege of such distant tuition. By reading Ed's books and buying his saddles we too have enjoyed such experiences. Now I am 55 and look for another saddle and a chance once again to become a Hackamore Reinsman.
