The images are great!

I do have a question or two about the female riding styles article. Under the "15th Century" heading, there's a much later picture shown (looks 1700s or so). Not only is the picture way later than the 1400s, but the person shown is dressed to ride astride, not sidesaddle. Is it even a woman?

Hmmm.

I think that is the goom that is holding the horse.
I think they missed the pictures that show women riding astride sat earlier dates.

I wish I could get my web site to work.

and get these picutres to work on it.

Check the path to your images and make sure that the structure you've set on your local drive is exactly the same as how it is set up on your remote drive (for working with programs like Dreamweaver and the like, this is really important).

When I check the properties, it seems to be referencing your C drive.

The pics are all wonderful! And are definately helping me with researching period saddles, but there seems to be some important info missing....What are they made of? Are those beautiful designs tooled into leather? How are the seats formed? More importantly, where can I find books/research material? I'm a college student...again, so I can get some stuff through inter-library loan....just don't know where to start looking. My other handicap is that I am definately language impaired! If it's not translated into english, I can't read it.

Thanks again for all of the links! I hope nobady minds if I book mark them.

Jeff Hedgecock has replicated this saddle depicted in the first, I recognize the cross braces for the rear support. Interesting.

If I remember correctly (I don't have my research in front of me) they are birch with pigskin covering and then (depending on which one) either staghorn or bone plaques that are carved. The color comes from the wax that was put on them.

Are those beautiful designs tooled into leather?

See above.

How are the seats formed?

Take a look at a modern western saddle tree. Same way.

More importantly, where can I find books/research material?

I will get back to you on this. I have a mid-term in physiology in about 10 min. Hopefully by this afternoon.

I know that feeling.

Feel free.

Actually the war saddle that Jeff Hedgecock replicated is the Friedrich III saddle from around the 1470s. The one shown at the beginning of the post is a Maximillian (early 1500).

Most saddles of that type have the same tree shape.
