Looks awesome Knut!

I sent you some pictures of my friends Mochila pony express style saddle but I added one here. He added some things and made a portmanteau to go with it.

Thank´s for the pics, Tim. Awesome saddle ! specool.gif A portmanteau (or valise) is authentic for the period. I might make one too! I had read about "cantle bags" but it took me years to realise that it was a portmanteau that was the cantle bag.

I´ll save your pics of the pony express saddle as I really like these old timey saddles.
