I recently got this at a church sale. It is a small mountain goat stuffed figure with a tooled leather saddle on its back. If anyone can tell me if they know who made it, I would appreciate it.

the saddle looks exactly like a Breyer toy horse saddle i have from the 1970's, which makes me wonder if it was just put on him for fun? and not orginal to the goat?
