Members oldtimer Posted March 10, 2011 Members Report Posted March 10, 2011 Interesting site, Farmer's Daughter. Their first "Ancient Asian saddle" picture here: http://www.antiques-...ges/suc175c.jpg is almost identical to the one I posted above. Both the "fork" and the cantle are much wider than the one Mike posted, but it is interesting the similarities between the North American one I posted and the one Mike posted that looks like the Circassian one. Saddle history is interesting!! The American "cousins" of those Circassian and Mongolian and Chinese saddles are the Ringgold Dragoon saddles ( 1844) and the Grimsley Dragoon saddles ( 1847), very similar in shape. / Knut Quote "The gun fight at the O.K. corral was actually started by two saddlemakers sitting around a bottle of whiskey talking about saddle fitting"...

Members Cat Balou Posted February 8, 2012 Members Report Posted February 8, 2012 Late to the party, but I just joined last week so nothing to be done. Mike, that's a Polish saddle. Don't have a date for it 'tho. Quote
