Notes
Richard Ahlborn interviews Les Stewart on the topic of stirrups and taps and their usefulness to a buckaroo.
Les says that his saddle has a "Visalia" stirrup. The term refers to the stirrup's shape and is derived from the name of the California town of the same name long associated with saddle making. The 1982 Capriola catalog lists Visalia stirrups with treads ranging in width from one to six inches at prices from $60 to $150. Tap is derived from the Spanish tapadero, meaning "something that covers." In 1982, Capriola priced bulldog taps at $110.
