Lost Saddle

On Oct. 9, I did not realize that the latch to the tack compartment wasn't locked on my horse trailer prior to traveling. The door to the horse tack compartment came open, and then I had lost my saddle, saddle blankets and a grooming box.
Upon back tracking the route taken, I was able to find the saddle blankets and the grooming box. No saddle to be found. Folks, I am at lost without my saddle.
This saddle has a lot of sentimental value. I have had it for over 20 years. The saddle itself has to be at least 40 years old. I have retired one horse using this saddle and was using it for my current equine friend. I have kept it in good shape, although I do know what is safe and what is not safe with this saddle for someone else to be using it.
The route traveled was heading west on 800N South on 400E, west on 750N, south on 300E, west on 700N through Leesburg downtown, and got gas for the truck. Returning route was: one road to the south of the main road through Leesburg back to 700N retracing route.
I would greatly appreciate it to be returned to me.
Saddle description: Tex Tan Brand, with "rose-like" tooling, raw hide on the back of seat and horn, light tan suede seat, fenders have home holes and one is an three-leaf clover, the wool on the underside is original missing at least 50 percent.
