Quote: Modern riders certainly want saddles to fit their horse as a modern saddle does, and want to use modern materials to ensure the saddle doesn’t break.

I'm confused by this comment, you're saying that before the advent of 'modern' saddles, any old thing was slapped on their backs? What modern materials other than leather, wood and metals are you talking about?

Certainly there have been advances in understanding how to create saddles for use in jumping, working and pleasure riding but fit cannot have been a modern invention.

Quote: Or even the same horse in good or spavined condition.

You'd ride a spavined horse? I don't see how a saddle would improve that.
