Without digressing from the main point of the thread I'm working on it ;-)
Pad saddles have a lot of advantages over fixed tree saddles, not least of which is that they are easily adjustable to fit any horse where fixed tree saddles are not.
There's also enough iconography around to support the suggestion of a lower profile saddle on a horse than a fixed tree saddle may give.
The piece of wood found at Carlisle was "tentatively" suggested as a saddle part, not proven.
