Yoakum, TX- The 100th Anniversary Birthday of film star John Wayne has been celebrated world wide in 2007. Honoring the legend’s memory, Circle Y Saddles offered the John Wayne Collector’s Edition Saddle for this limited time. Vowing to collectors to make it only available for the duration of 2007, Circle Y will be ceasing production of the saddle within the next 60 days.

The John Wayne Collector’s Edition Saddle, known as the “Courage” saddle, is a replica of his own saddle on display in the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museumin Oklahoma City. Faithfully reproduced by Circle Y, the “Courage” saddle commemorates not only Wayne’s film career, but the courage he exhibited as he fought cancer in his last days.

Authorized by Wayne Enterprises to craft the saddle for collectors, Circle Y brought years of quality craftsmanship and tradition to the creation of these saddles. As America’s Leading Saddle Brand, Circle Y Saddles was honored to play in a part in the commemoration of this great American.

Along with the saddle, Circle Y includes in the package a handcrafted wood saddle stand made especially for this saddle, a personalized plaque for the saddle owner authenticating the serial number of the saddle, a hardbound book commemorating Wayne’s film career, and a DVD following the evolution of the “Courage” saddle at Circle Y in Yoakum, TX.

Don’t miss your chance to own, or give to your favorite John Wayne fan, a piece of history in saddle making and film lore. The John Wayne Collector’s Edition Saddle will no longer be available after December 31, 2007. Saddles may be ordered through an authorized John Wayne saddle dealer.
