Sculptor Vic McCallum is creating a life-size
bronze sculpture to depict the presentation
of that saddle to Trigger and Roy Rogers. This Hollywood
business connection illustrates the nation's recognition of the
skilled craftsmen found in Buford for
over 100 years. Our saddlemaker, John Johnson, stands in tribute
to the generations responsible for this area's historic industry.
From the early 1930s and 1940s, most Hollywood cowboys demanded
their finest custom show saddles from the Bona Allen Company in
historic Buford, Georgia. The actors of the classic western series
Bonanza all rode on saddles from Bona Allen.
