I've been reading lately about the shortage of saddle hackles. Seems a lot of people are wearing them in their hair and it's the latest craze. Well tonight as I was watching American Idol with my family I noticed one of the judges, Stephen Tyler, had several beautiful saddle hackles woven into his hair. Looked to be a bunch of 8-10 feathers. Millions of other people watched the show tonight. I wonder how this might affect the future supply of saddles. I also wonder if the demand will create a spike in prices.
