In his diary Richard Symonds wrote "deeber" for the English word "saddle". But what was his horse's saddle like? What is a saddle? A saddle is a seat for a horseman or horsewoman on the horse's back. Saddles are made by a saddler. It is a very old craft. They must be comfortable for the horse as well as for the rider, so they are stuffed, provided with padding. There's a framework too, called the "tree", made of strong wood (perhaps beech). This distributes the rider's weight on the horse's back and protects its spine. The saddle supports the rider. Without a saddle he could fall. Riding bare-back is uncomfortable and hard. Traditional saddles are made of leather. Modern ones could be synthetic. There are many types for different purposes. They can be very expensive, more than £7000 for the best.
