Florida Cracker Saddle by D Hackett

The McClellan saddle was a riding saddle designed by G B Mcclellan, a career Army officer in the US Army, after his tour of Europe as the member of a military commission charged with studying the latest developments in engineer and cavalry forces including field equipment. Based on his observations, McClellan proposed a design that was adopted by the Army in 1859. The McClellan saddle was a long-lasting success and continued in use, in various forms, from the period of its adoption until the U.S.

Army's last horse cavalry. Its simplistic, light-weight design which was easy on the cavalry horses, while at the same time it was sturdy enough for rider support and additional gear. It had a rawhide open seat to relieve pressure on the horse￿s spine, a thick leather skirt, complete with wool girth and stirrups made of wood.
