In Montana, they're some tough old gals in their 70s and 80s, whom I know personally, who still ride and sling their own saddles. Hell, I couldn't even heft a saddle these days... a big pile of leather.

I love to ride but don't have much opportunity these days... pushing 70 myself. If I had to do all the tending and whatnot, I wouldn't be able to handle it.
