Bullfighting Tack

Hola!

As you can see, I'm back from Spain. Over the next few days, I plan to shower you with photos of that beautiful country. First, however, I feel the need to post something I find very exciting: bullfighting tack!

During our stay in Seville, my school group made a stop at the bullfighting ring and museum. I got some very strange looks from our guide when I started freaking out over this display (apologies for the horrid picture quality):

Unfortunately, I didn't get a shot of any informational signs about this, so my knowledge of its background is limited. It sure is cool though!

  1. What a cool saddle! And the pictures are fine. I know firsthand how hard it is to shoot through glass.

  3. While I abhore bullfighting, I must admit, that's some pretty funky tack! Those type of saddles always look really comfortable.

  4. Haha thanks Jennifer. My little Panasonic point and shoot made a valiant effort!

    I love the stirrups too, Emily :) I wonder if they make anything like that in model scale?

    And EG, I totally agree! Lots of padding to make it a comfy saddle :D
