Bobby Clark
Our first nude model cowboy is Bobby Clark with a western riding saddle.
That same pair of boots appears in all but one of today's nudes.
The Western saddle is quite distinct. I don't know now which film it was, but when the now departed Australian actor Heath Ledger was cast, he had to have lessons on how to use a Western saddle. Ledger had grown up in Western Australia and was a very good horseman from boyhood, but the Australian saddle gave him a very different poise - not that shoulders back look belonging to John Wayne. The English saddle makes you sit bolt upright and, in my very humble opinion, is best for a trot or a canter rather than a gallop.

ReplyDeleteI've never used anything but a Western saddle, and I can tell you they are very uncomfortable on the trot.
