Sawbuck Saddle 



The San) BucJ^ Saddle is a wooden frame as shown in 

 the above illustration, made of some hard, tough wood. 

 It is placed above the ordinary saddle blankets and 

 held in place by the latigo cinch on girth as shown in 

 second illustration below. It is a small frame no larger 

 than is necessary to give firm support to the cross 

 pieces at each end. 



With the Saw Buck it is easier for one man to sling 

 the cargo.
