A 106-year-old championship saddle from Cheyenne Frontier Days has been donated to the rodeo's Old West Museum. The family of Clayton Danks, a 3-time Frontier Days winner who was awarded the saddle in 1907, gave it to the museum after they obtained it from King's Saddlery and Museum in Sheridan. The saddle is the oldest trophy in the Old West Museum. Curator Mike Kassel calls the saddle a priceless artifact. Danks' family began searching for the saddle in 2008 when he was inducted into the Frontier Days Hall of Fame. They have been negotiating with King's Saddlery and Museum for several years to buy the saddle
