The bridle on that horse matched the saddle, and the headstall was beautiful with silver kept white and clean.

The rope coiled and tied beside the saddle fork was of rawhide.

(Luck did not need to cross the street to be sure of these details; observation was a part of his profession.) The other saddle was the kind most favored on the northern range.

Short, round skirts, open stirrups, narrow and rimmed with iron.

Stamped with a two-inch border of wild rose design, it pleased Luck by its very simplicity.
