Greek Saddles

by the way Peter rides his stallion bride-less like the Numidians !

But unlike the Numidians, who must be contenders for the finest horsemen ever, he uses stirrups.

I went a long way toward teaching myself to ride stirrupless, but I never really got far with actually using weapons from horseback before I had to give up on the research project for various reasons. I hope one day to do a full programme of experiments with various weapons from horseback with something approximating ancient tack (although of course I'll never use some of those horrendous ancient bits). I haven't actually ridden for a few years now, since becoming a dad, so this is a distant dream for now.
