Hi Ghandi et al,
I'd like to do a mounted German impression for the filming and am waiting to hear back from the organizers to see if this is possible. (Yeah, I'm a chick but I ride and want to play wif da boyz for once.
Does anyone know anything about the types of saddles the Germans would have used, if they used them? The Romans had their saddles with the four pommels and no stirrups but would the Germans have used them or just ridden bareback? Or did they have something else? I haven't found much info on that.
Likewise, if there is other interest in a cav impression, let me know. I've got a friend who rents horses for reenactments and am trying to see if he can come out for the filming so you wouldn't have to bring your own.
Thanks in advance!
