If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses
– Henry Ford
We owe it to our ancestors who domesticated the Horse in the history of equestrianism. The horse is the most important riding animal in human history. There are also animal breeds such as the Donkey, the Ox and the Camel, but the Horse was used faster and more widely. There are different types of saddles according to the usage possibilities of the riding animals. For example, Horse saddles have 7 different saddles according to their intended use.
As in the past of humanity, the areas of use of leather have such a wide range in today’s world. The leather in the saddles is a natural sustainable animal hide, with this feature, it is healthier and more durable in terms of use. The craftsmanship of saddle making is a legacy from our ancestors, this laborious craft is of great value in terms of today’s technology and cultural art.
Felt is placed under the saddles. It provides a softer surface so that the horse’s back does not hurt and does not injure, so the comfort of the rider is also important. The saddles and straps made of leather allow the Horse to run faster and more comfortably. When Henry Ford said the faster going carriage, the carriages and the straps holding the carriages with the horse and the seat upholstery of the carriage were natural materials made of leather.
Natural leather, that is, animal hide, is a natural material that has been saved from being thrown away and offered to the use of humanity.
