Ahem, Who or what is an English or Western saddle for that matter? How about a real saddle, a battlefield proven design at that. No "Girlymen" saddles here,BorderStates Leatherworks

hehe, Cav. Well, I guess that's proof you're not one of them liberal girlie men, eh? When we (us?) freepers DO have to march on something (John Kerry's botanical gardens on Beacon Hill? Dan Rather's fax machine at Rockefeller Center, The Kinko's in Abilene Texas) will you lead the charge??

Us English saddle hunt seat riders will just jump over the deritas and scare the bejesus out of those namby pamby CBS camera men and editing room engineers. The Western saddle riders among us can round up the producers. ;)

"will you lead the charge??"

Yes. as long as I get to ride the saddle of my choice, an 1859 McClellan. With accouterments to match that saddle, such as halter with snap coupler, bridle, breast strap, six coat straps, valise, crupper, sircingle, twin pommel holsters, and saddle bags. Did I leave anything out?

I had a relative that rode a U.S. Cavalry issued 1859 McClellan saddle into several battles. (hint; he was not in the U.S. Cavalry.) :-)
