I looked at the illustrations from the first post by Druzhina, then all the ones from Michael's above site which showed Achaemenid Persians and Scythians on horses. Not one original rendition or sculpture shows the use of a saddle. The Achaemenids and Greeks used "saddle cloths," the same as modern saddle blankets, but these were not actual saddles. How interesting.
