chocolateducttape Report post Posted September 18, 2008 http://www.sil.si.edu/smithsoniancontribut...o/SSHT-0039.pdf It's a booklet thing by the Smithsonian on the entire history of the Western saddle. Like starting back in the day of the Moors in Spain, around 700 AD. There are zillions of pictures and it's really fascinating. (I haven't read the whole thing yet, obviously, as I only just came across it, but what I have read so far is promising.) It's a pretty big file though just to warn you.
