PENDLETON — It seems family and friendships are cut from a thick hide of leather. This is no suede glove kind, but the really heavy-duty and lasting stuff from which horse saddles are put together.
One Pendleton resident who knows a lot about the significance of family and friends, and a lot about horse saddles as well, is Darla Phillips, daughter of the late saddlemaker Randy Severe. Darla also is granddaughter of Bill Severe, who with his brother Duff, started Severe Brother Saddlery in 1955.
