I think I've read where troopers in the civil war would strip the saddles down to make it lighter. I can see how this would work. Did you see alot of armor dating from the 3rd century AD? Laminated arm guards? What is it like to handle a lance on horseback. I used my saber on occasion, but generally would dismount and fire my rifle. I really like the McClellan saddle and had no idea it's ancestor goes back to Persia! Cyrus the Great was ahead of his time. I think there has never been a greater Persian leader since. His understanding of human rights and religious freedom was incredible. Modern Iran could learn from him. Anyway, I hope you can post the pics of the sassanian saddle!!<br>
Thanks for your efforts<br>
