Uncle Arthur:
Well, on closer inspection I also see clearly that the leathers are placed correctly. I am also not too fond of a buckle against the shin!

I agree entirely that the stirrups leathers are reversed--I was unaware of the saber protection function--sort of along the lines of a spare curb chain on the browband...I guess it couldn't hurt!

I was at the Invalides last spring--their collections are magnificent!
I wonder why the stirrup leathers are so long--notice how their long tail has been folded up on itself and passed through a captive keeper.

Re: "1805" British light dragoon saddle.
Hello John:
Well, once in a blue moon it pays to be in academia--Forbes V1 is held in several libraries where I have inter-Library loan privileges. I can ask our head librarian to request it on my behalf.
U of Michigan has it on-line fully searchable, but no views--due to copyright restrictions. I ...

Re: "1805" British light dragoon saddle.
Hello John:
No, I have no 3D drawing of it--I suppose I could have my students loft one using AutoCAD as a nice real world exercise.
I'm looking at Tylden, p. 130, Figures 6 and 7 right now--all three Forbes are expensive--they are on Google Books in "snippet view" though. I'll see if Mr Hansen ...

Gentlemen:
Thanks for the consolation--yes, it is much in the same category as "Horses and Saddlery", "Riding and Schooling Horses", "American Military Horsemanship" and "The American Military Saddle"; always within reach!

Re: remount excerpts

These are great primary accounts--incidentally, there are some great watercolors of remount depots and duty in teh collections of the Australian War Museum on-line.
About seven years ago I found some really good plates at the LOC of the acceptable "types" that remount purchasers were to ...

Hello John:
There are also excellent photos of the Jabez-Royal Armoury saddle (AL.218 1) on p. 169 of "The American Military Saddle" by Dorsey and McPheeters.
I have Tylden open to plate 11 at this moment, and it brings to mind anotehr saddle altogether--I have plates for an 1842 Prussian ...
