Hello!
Regarding the construction of a roman saddle, another possibility possible that only the cantle and the fork are made in wood, and those two wooden parts are joined by the bars, made from very thick leather. The horna are atached to both wooden pieces, or made integral, in the same piece.
Probably, in such way, the bars conformed better the wavy anatomy of the chest of the horse. In traditional spanish saddle construction, the tree are made from straw and leather, and usually there are aplied wet to the horse, and then you have to mount with the saddle "wet", to conform to the horse anatomy.
And probably, in such way, the leather can be quickly adapted to another horse, better than if the bars are made from wood.
Its a suggestion, between the Junkelmann's soft saddle and the Connoly's wooden structure one...
Opinions...??? :roll:
