:) I guess part of my gripe is the collar - that was Crow, not Nez Perce, and huge hide and fishing basket. And the fact that everything is neatly beaded with seed beads, no bells, no shells, nothing looks hand crafted, it looks like it came from China factories.

I'm not sure that the judges know what to look for though either. Several years ago, a bonifide indian rode in the Heritage class with items all hand crafted replicas and lost - that caused a real row and changes in the rules I believe.

I'm impressed with just the thought that a horse wouldn't be freaking out with all that stuff hanging off him...let alone if it's authentic or not:).
