  To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the TCAA's inaugural exhibition and sale at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, the TCAA's 13 active members, plus one emeritus member, collaborated on the design and build of a traditional Visalia-style saddle and outfit, including a braided rawhide riata, quirt, and hobbles.
