The dark plum-coloured leather is thin sheepskin from Little Trimmings : great for stretching and gluing over the arches. The pommel proper is always present , sometimes with a decorative metal cap , and on each side of it a wooden thigh piece , which has a quilted leather pad on the inside. The cantle also has a quilted cover on the inside .I made these quilted bits by sewing the thin leather over pads of felt , then turning back the free edge and gluing it :

This now has all the buckles for the furniture fitted . Then I fitted the breast-strap , the holsters etc :

Then an overall lined leather cover is fitted , made of two pieces lined with thicker leather , with cut-outs for the arches . This appears to be attached with nails only around the arches , leaving the lower part just hanging , since you need to be able to lift up its skirts all round to access the various straps:

The actual seat , of quilted leather with felt stuffing , resembling a bicycle saddle in shape , is added last :

The holsters are made of vegtan leather around a Sculpey former , dried and then saddle stitched together .The folded-down rain cover is from some very thin Rio Rondo leather :

The holsters are designed to house my new pistols . They have an angled strap to fit into the buckle on the saddle tree , and a strap connecting the two of them which lays over the horses neck, passing through a loop on the saddle . Finally the decorative bit : the smallest kind of brass pins ( I think from a model ship range ) are used to fix on the leather covers of the arches , nailed through to the wood underneath . This is fiddly but very satisfying :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many things vary on the originals : girths are single , double or triple. Some saddles have breast strap and crupper , others neither. The grandest are cloth-covered, often in really sumptious fabrics with embroidery, like this astonishing surviving parade harness which belonged to King Christian IV of Denmark : he was a rotten , or should I say unlucky General , but my, didn't he look good losing !
