Ohio native Charles P. Shipley (1865-1943) started his saddlery near the Kansas City, Missouri stockyards in 1885, catering to working cowboys. Between 1910 and 1920, Shipley’s became better known for bits and spurs. T.E “Buck” Yarbrough was presented with this saddle in 1916. A Snyder, Texas native, Yarborough was a cowboy for many years in the Texas Panhandle.
