SADDLES 



141 



men find it easier to ride with them ; they are 



undoubtedly helpful when the horse is narrow in 



front. Saddles with very prominent knee-rolls 



are much used in Australia 



and in other countries where 



the breakinor of horses is 



very casually done. A 



great many of the best 



orders which a fashionable 



saddler receives come from 



America and South Africa. The Boers, some of 



whom weigh twenty-six stone, often request that 



2olb. saddles should be sent out to them.
