\"Tom Flynn opened his first shop in 1880, in Silver Cliff, Colorado and stayed until 1889, when the silver ran out. Before he was ready to leave, the bank at Silver Cliff closed it\'s doors with all the town\'s money-- Tom went looking for the bank president and found him on the verge of sneaking out of town. With a gun in his ribs, the bank president was glad to give him back his savings and Tom Flynn moved on to Trinidad, CO for a brief period; then at the prophetic suggestion from a gypsy fortune-teller, he moved into saddle-making history in Pueblo.

Flynn did 90% of his business through mail order. Pueblo was a rail hub, which allowed his saddles to be easily distributed all over the country. He supplied his innovative, strong and beautiful saddles to many Wild West Shows and Ranchers. His sturdy saddles, built for heavy use and the comfort of the rider, were in high demand with people who spent most of their waking hours on horseback-- and were not affordable for most of the cowboys of the day. Tom Flynn saddles were identifiable by over-sized skirts - measuring up to 32\" - and wide fenders. They were double-rigged to support the roping style of the cowboys, contrary to most of the saddles made in Montana at the time. These saddles almost always had square skirts. They were typically made of thicker, stouter leather than was used by most other makers, with the exception of those saddles created by the co-inventors of the Pueblo Saddle. Tom Flynn was one of the great saddle makers of the American West.

Flynn saddles are marked on the fenders: \"T. FLYNN, MAKER, PUEBLO, COLO.\" As the majority of his saddles were half-seat or modified half-seat, markings on the seat were not practical.

Tom Flynn\'s shop flooded in 1921 and he passed away 6 months later.\"
