When where saddle pads invented?
The saddle pad actually predates the saddle itself. There is no exact year, but when horses were first ridden people used cloth as a barrier between them and the horses back. These were the first saddle pads, and the precursor to the saddle.
What did the first horse saddle look like?
The first saddle was basically just a piece of cloth laid over the horse. At some point someone used a strip of leather to hold the cloth on, thus creating the first girth. After that the saddle progressed fairly rapidly into what we have today. The Spanish style of saddle is the oldest style, with English saddles coming in second, sidesaddle third and Western saddles would be fourth. Now we also have trail and endurance saddle which are the newest designs.
What material was used to make the first saddle?
Cloth. The Indians used blankets for their saddles. But most people rode bareback at the start of riding.
What will happen if you put a saddle on with out puting on a saddle cloth or numnah?
It could hurt the horse and give them sores and pinch nerves! A saddle should be able to fit correctly without a pad or numnah under it. It's even recommended that you fit a new saddle without anything under it first to see if it fits the horse properly. A saddle cloth, pad, blanket, or numnah is designed to wick the moisture from the horses back and to provide a little bit of cushion. Some pads have a therapeutic benefit such as wither relief or to lift the saddle. The biggest problems are sores from the saddle rubbing on bare skin and hair, and the saddle itself becoming damaged from the horses sweat.
How do you clean a saddle?
(leather saddle)Step 1:Get some warm water in a bucket, wipe down the saddle with a damp cloth/sponge, to rid of any access dirt, mud or dust and thenStep 2:use some leather (saddle) soap, and use your cloth/sponge and scrub the saddle in a circular motion until you have created a light lather, then once the entire saddle has been covered in a lather, you then wipe it down with a clean clothe/sponge with fresh warm water.Step 3:Using a dry towel/cloth, apply a generous amount of leather (saddle) conditioner to the surface of the saddle, and apply once again, with a circular motion. Since this is more of a cream rather than a soap, do not expect a lather, the saddle will simply absorb the conditioner. If your saddle is old or hard, apply two coverings of conditioner.Conditioner allows the leather to soften and become more supple, just like using shampoo and conditioner for your hair, it leaves it feeling softer, healthier and smoother.(Synthetic saddle)Step 1:Get some warm water in a bucket, wipe down the saddle with the damp cloth/sponge, to rid of any access dirt, mud or dust and then use synthetic saddle cleaner.The synthetic saddle cleaner i use for my synthetic saddle is in a spray bottle, but i am sure there are many more on the market.Step 2:All I have to do after following the first step, then spray the saddle cleaner on to the surface of the saddle, use a cloth/sponge and scrub the cleaner with in a circular motion until you have created a light lather, then once the entire saddle has been covered in a lather and scrubbed, you then wipe it down with clean cloth/sponge with fresh warm water.I always dry my saddles after cleaning them, so that they don't absorb to much water, especially my leather saddle, as absorption of too much water allows it to swell.I hope this has helped :)Good luck!
