Saturday, Feb. 16 I was at a CTBRA in Salado and two of my saddles were stolen out of my trailer.
One saddle is a Twister barrel saddle with TK on the skirt and fully tooled. The other is a Lynn McKenzie barrel saddle with star conchos and it's fully tooled also.
Please help me find these saddles...Money will be rewarded if found!
Thank you,
Tammy Kidd-Coward

UGGGGHHHH <IMSOMAD> I HATE A THIEF!!! Do you have any pictures you could post? Contact the local horse sales and let them know with a description. I have been bad about leaving my tack unlocked but I guess this is another wake up call to "LOCK YOUR TACK UP"
-
Contact CTBRA. They can send out an email to all of their members. Maybe someone saw the thief around your trailer and didn't know what was going on. It's worth a try.
-
I emailed this info to Greg with CTBRA. I'm sure he will let everyone know via email asap.
I hope someone finds these saddles and >POSTAL< this thief!
edited to add....Tammy, if you have pictures of these saddles, please post them.
-
I just got a reply from Greg, he has emailed everyone on the CTBRA mailing list. :)/\\

I am so sorry this happend to you. That happend to me when I was in high school at a high school rodeo. My tack room was shut, but someone helped themselves to some of my bridals and some of my training equipment. I really hate thieves too. I am so sorry it was your saddles though. Those aren't so easy to replace. I hope they find this person and you get your stuff back. I will be thiking about you. :no: :((((
-
Contact local pawn shops ASAP!!....my guess is they will get rid of them fast, and pawn shops would be their first stop. I would guess they would not be stupid enough to ride around in stolen saddles....but crooks are stupid. :nahnah:
So sorry that happened to you!!! <(::)>
-
Thanks for all the replies...Unfortunatly I do not have any pictures of these saddles. I wish I did now!
I have pictures of me running barrels using these saddles but you can't see the saddles enough to get any more info that what I've posted.
I did contact the police and I did file a report. I'm going to visit all the pawn shops around the area and contact some others. I'm also going to try and go to some tack sales.
Thanks again for all ya'lls help!!

bump :cheeze:

Same thing was reported as happening at the first CTBRA of the year in January. I am not sure what the total number was, but when I was getting ready to run (sometime around #80) they kept making announcements about saddles being stolen.
-
Yeah, I remember hearing about someones saddles gettin stolen at Belton too.
I wonder if they got them back??
I really hope they find these jerks!!!
-
I know there was one certain person in particular that was stealing saddles at some of the CTBRA shows & I do believe she was caught. But, just in case this is the same person, keep an eye on for saddles for sale on the internet!
I'm headed to town this morning, Tammy....I'm gonna check out some places while I'm running errands.
-
It's a sad thing, but pretty soon, we'll be having to hire off-duty police or security to patrol the grounds while we have a barrel race! That really makes me sad, because barrel racers have always been like my family.......and it only takes a few bad apples to ruin a good thing..............
Hope you find your saddles.
-
Hope ya get your saddle back. just another reminder that everything we buy, we'll have to take pix of just because of lousy thieves! We work hard for what we have and somebody else gets by using our hard earned equipment and we trust too much by leaving things not under lock and key. Good luck in getting your stuff back! I live in NY but will keep my ears open for them. never know~
-
Im so sorry about this!! some people just make me want to cuss! (XXX) Selfish inconsiderate people that are too lazy to work hard for their own stuff and lie cheat and steal their way through life! I hope these losers are caught and I will keep my eyes open for your saddles!
-
I just sent a note to our drill team members as well as our store mailing list - there are lost of horse-type people on that list... so if you get any calls from the Lazy B mailing list - that is where it came from.
Sure hope you get them back... we are HORRIBLE about leaving the trailer unlocked ourselves. I will definately take some pictures this week though...

Thank you once again to all the kind replies!!
I contacted the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Assoc. today and they are going to help find my saddles.
Christi, thank you so much for checking the local pawn shops!
Also, a special thanks to Jamye Wall for letting be borrow her barrel saddle for now!
Thanks again!

Keep us updated.....with details if you do catch her.
I'm pretty good about keeping my stuff locked up. Just paranoid I guess, but at Belton, when I heard about stuff getting stolen (rather quickly a lot of stuff got reported) I even went out and locked my horses in my trailer. I wasn't going to leave them tied to the trailer anyhow (we were parked on the asphalt) but I keep enough padlocks in my trailer to lock all the doors that don't have built in locks.
That's sad, but better safe than sorry.

Well, NOTE to all theives. My Tack room is LOCKED and My Heeler BITES, so, if you attempt to come near my truck....You will walk away wounded. Yup, Colt 45 is living up to his name!!!! So, I recommend that everyone get a good traveling partner and tie him up to your trailer when you might be distracted!!! They are everywhere!!!!! <IMSOMAD> This is why I got my first heeler Ruger cause in HS I had some (XXX) peeps steal a $300 headstall that my first horse won. It was never found and it broke my heart. Luckily some kiddos who ran at SRRC had several and let me trade another award for one to make up for the loss. (((((((HUGS)))))))) (((((((HUGS)))))))) But, still. Be on ALERT!!! <IMSOMAD> I think Ruger made his aquaitaince with some peeps who got too close a time or two cause he was cowering cause they broke a beer bottle over his head. <IMSOMAD> <IMSOMAD> <IMSOMAD> Well, that just made him even more sneaky. He would hide under the trailer and wait till they got too close and scare the daylights out of them!!! :)/\\ Now, he is gone, but, Colt 45 is well on his way to filling those shoes and has already scared some stupid kids who decided to pet the "pony" who happened to be my two year old stud....... <IMSOMAD> <IMSOMAD> <IMSOMAD>

Unfortunately, dogs aren't allowed at all barrel races and most of the time they are to be on leashes so that isn't the greatest security system. It's also a liability for yourself (especially if they are that aggressive and aren't tied up SHORT).
It works great at home though....I've 4 Aussies just for that reason and they are all mean. Hereditary. LOL!!
-
They stay on a short leash and for the most part, they bark and scare peeps more than anything. Ruger, would lay under the trailer (tied to the bumper hitch) and would not make a sound until someone touched the truck or trailer. He would then jump up and BARK. Yeah, I am sure there have been grown men that peed their pants, but, they would defiantly back off. Very rarely would anyone get close enough to get licked.....LOL. But, yeah, I also have a sign made for the trailer that says THE DOG BITES. He was always gentle with the kids, just would scare them cause he would "come out of know where". Yes, all dogs must be on a leash at any barrel race!!! <DUMMY ME> <DUMMY ME>

We usually take our curr dog with us - she is really sweet, but doesn't look that way. I always tell Theresa that I take the dog with us so that someone sees Lucy getting in the trailer, they will go to her trailer and leave mine alone... I do have to remind myself to lock-up. It is so much easier to be trusting and not lock, but this is a great reminder.
Also - when we stop somewhere to eat - I lock EVERYTHING - living quarters, tack, horses. I have nightmares about finding someone in the living quarters or taking the horses out and turning them loose or stealing them.
