Summary
Established in 1947, the Saddle Club was the first organized equestrian club in the Scottsbluff area. Established to promote horseback riding, better horsemanship, horse shows, and a safe riding experience, the Saddle Club quickly became an important community institution. Established at a time when lives were becoming more and more mechanized, the Saddle Club played an important role in maintaining a tangible link to equestrian activities, both social and work related. This socialization focused on riders and their horse, as well as a rider's responsibility to the community of riders as well as to the larger community. Socially, the Saddle Club has served to pass along "horse sense" to a whole generation who otherwise may have had no opportunity to learn the "Trail Rider's Creed." In doing so, a connection to a past way of life has been maintained.
