Each year Colorado State University has a student colt training competition that is the culmination of two semesters, Fall and Spring, of in class colt starting and training completed by thirty or more students. Each student is assigned to and trains a colt or filly which is then sold as part of the Legends of Ranching Performance Horse Sale.
Iddings Makers is a co-sponsor and the saddle maker for the trophy saddle awarded to the student who trains the best performing horse. This page shows our collection of trophy saddles, the 2015 Edition is finished and ready to be awarded.
Good luck to the students, we will see you all in April.
