Saddles are seats for the rider, fastened to the horse´s back by means of a ´´girth´´ or ´´cinch´´;, a wide strap that goes around the horse at a point about four inches behind the forelegs.
Because of this danger saddlers have developed both ´´safety stirrups´´; or peacock stirrups —which are either shaped to allow the rider´s foot to slip out easily or are closed with a rubber band—and ´´safety stirrup bars´´ that are hangers for the stirrup leather that allow it to detach from the saddle in an emergency.
A horse that is used solely for draughting will have a ´´bridle´´;, ´´reins´´;, ´´collar´´; and ´´hames´´;, and ´´traces´´;.
