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

Saddle side

[edit]

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


More saddles

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 that one is very much out of date--Horse master 04:01, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]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]

Generic Saddle Article

[edit]

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
