Surely a saddle is not restricted to something strapped on to a horse - camels can have saddles too, for example.

Saddle side

How about the meaning of sitting on the fence or even taking two sides. See how its used in this email thread. http://cypherpunks.venona.com/date/1994/04/msg00722.html

A 13th-century Mongol saddle cover?

Does anyone have a better picture? that one is very much out of date--Horse master 04:01, 8 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I disagree, it's interesting to learn more about saddles in history as well as just the present day. I wish there was more on this in the article. 213.249.135.36 18:23, 30 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Move this page

edit

After mentioning the recent addition of "Parts of the Saddle" on User talk:Eventer, I've been pondering. Perhaps this page should be moved to Saddle (disambiguation), and a more generic article on saddles can be written here? Perhaps it could discuss things that are common to all saddles, and use one-paragraph summary sections on English saddle and Western saddle (for example) linked with {{main}}.

A lot of the incoming links are just about "saddles" in general -- when a Simpsons episode talks about a saddle, they don't care whether it's an English or Western one, and someone clicking a link from that article shouldn't be presented with a disambiguation page.

In fact, I think I've just convinced myself that this is necessary. Barring any disagreement here, I'll take care of it in the next day or two. — Catherine\talk 21:01, 9 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I'll be happy to help contribute to the saddle article once the moves have been made. I have some resonably good sources which should help. -Eventer
