The slots were used years ago by some different saddle makers. I don't know why they quit other than that they maybe went to a full rigging and then the latigo is more in front of the knee, so therefore it wouldn't be needed as much.


The cable rigging is another example of re-inventing the wheel. This was done very similar to this years ago. Maybe with the better types of material for the cable now, is why it is gaining in popularity. I sure like mine. Makes a good "pull" to set the saddle where it best fits a horse and is guarenteed for life, with this type of saddle tree.


"Bad snakey" is spooky and maybe apt to kick or buck. But these kinds of horse, if you are able to ride them, will go all day and then some.


 I've got a neighbor whose grandfather was from Texas. He liked thourobred horses. He said that he always wanted a horse that he could ride farther in a day than the horse could be shipped back at night, on a train! Now thats a horse! But I doubt many would want to ride one like that now. Horses and people are softer and most horses never really get "hard" or even get many hard rides. Except in "cowboy" country! :lol: [/i]
