A section
of a saddle found in York. If you will notice the holes, these suggest the rawhide
thonging attachment of some Mexican packsaddles I've seen. (Hall, Richard. The Viking
Dig.1984)Saddle Notes (as of 19 January 2002)
The last time I did a bibliography for this project, I put it here. Please remember that I haven't actually worked on this project in about 4 years. I can't find the actual documentation for the leather piece and the stirrups, but I'm looking for tmem now

A
section of leather, also from York. Presumed to be from a saddle.
Some
ideas for stirrups, loosely based on on some Saxon stirrups.
Total
idea for assembly. I was actually planning to try a pillow instead for the seat.
The thing under the wooden frame is planned to be a thick pad.
