WHEATLAND — Wyoming author and historian Kathy Muller Ogle shared her research about master saddlemaker Rudy Mudra with members and guests of the Platte County Historical Society on Feb. 27.
Ogle’s research focused on the changes to saddlemaking from 1879 to 1966, many of which Rudy Mudra contributed to the craft. Research for her project was made possible through a Lola Homsher research grant from the Wyoming State Historical Society.
Ogle grew up in Sheridan, and as a child had a Rudy Mudra saddle, which sparked her interest in the saddlemaker. After retiring from a career as a groundwater hydrologist, she decided to explore more about Mudra’s life and found that his influence on leather carving and saddle making continues today.
