In this Monday Minute in the Archives, we step into the saddle for a look at a pair of western-style riding boots Mrs. Reagan wore at her beloved Rancho del Cielo, now stored in the Reagan Library's archives.
This month, we're highlighting a handful of items President and Mrs. Reagan used while enjoying their cherished ranch in the Santa Ynez mountains. High above the coast, Rancho del Cielo was a peaceful place where the President and First Lady could relax, ride, and feel right at home.
Today's featured item is a pair of Mrs. Reagan's western-style riding boots, complete with spurs. She wore them while riding horses alongside President Reagan at the ranch. Look closely at the spurs, and you'll spot a special detail—they're marked "Roy" and were made by ACME. It's a small touch that speaks to the couple's shared love of the outdoors and the simple joys of ranch life.
This piece is part of the Reagan Library's archives, offering a personal glimpse into the everyday joys of life at Rancho del Cielo.
If you could saddle up for a ride at Rancho del Cielo, what would you most look forward to? Let us know in the comments below.
