This replica of a U.S. Pony Express saddle was made in 1986 and originally used in 1860 for fast mail service. It is made from tan skirting leather.

The Pony Express was a mail delivery service that operated in the western U.S. during the mid-1800s. Skirting leather is tough and resilient, allowing saddles to withstand significant pressure, weight, and friction during use.
