Zwiesel (saddle)
Vorder- and Hinterzwiesel combine the costumes of a riding saddle and ensure that there is no pressure on the horse's spine . In the higher version, they give the rider additional support in the saddle, but in return limit his freedom of movement. In the original goat saddle, as it is still found today in pack animals, the spiers were fork-like cross pieces made of wood. The pommel contains the gullet , which determines the chamber width of the saddle. Until the middle of the 19th century they were made of wood, later of iron or iron-reinforced wood. Today, plastic caps are also available on the market.
In the western saddle, the front pommel is called a fork and the rear pommel is called a cantle.
The saddle of the Gardians has pronounced twists .
In work saddles, such as the western saddle, the front and rear pommel are often made higher in order to enable the rider to sit more securely and without getting tired .
