    THROUGH ENGLAND ON A SIDE-SADDLE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Celia Fiennes | 96 pages | 02 Apr 2009 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141191072 | English | London, United Kingdom Sidesaddle - Wikipedia Ninth century depictions show a small footrest, or planchette added to the pillion. In Europe , the sidesaddle developed in part because of cultural norms which considered it unbecoming for a woman to straddle a horse while riding. This was initially conceived as a way to protect the hymen of aristocratic girls, and thus the appearance of their being virgins. However, women did ride horses and needed to be able to control their own horses, so there was a need for a saddle designed to allow control of the horse and modesty for the rider. The earliest functional "sidesaddle" was credited to Anne of Bohemia — The design made it difficult for a woman to both stay on and use the reins to control the horse, so the animal was usually led by another rider, sitting astride. The insecure design of the early sidesaddle also contributed to the popularity of the Palfrey , a smaller horse with smooth ambling gaits, as a suitable mount for women. A more practical design, developed in the 16th century, has been attributed to Catherine de' Medici. In her design, the rider sat facing forward, hooking her right leg around the pommel of the saddle with a horn added to the near side of the saddle to secure the rider's right knee. The footrest was replaced with a "slipper stirrup ", a leather-covered stirrup iron into which the rider's left foot was placed.

    Trunk Contents

    Trunk Contents Hands-on Items Bandana – Bandanas, also known as "snot rags," came in either silk or cotton, with the silk being preferred. Silk was cool in the summer and warm in the winter and was perfect to strain water from a creek or river stirred up by cattle. Cowboys favored bandanas that were colorful as well as practical. With all the dust from the cattle, especially if you rode in the rear of the herd (drag), a bandana was a necessity. Shirt - The drover always carried an extra shirt, as 3,000 head of cattle kicked up a considerable amount of dust. The drovers wanted a clean shirt available on the off- chance that the cowboy would be sent to a settlement (few and far between) to secure additional supplies. Crossing rivers would get your clothes wet and cowboys would need a clean and dry shirt to wear. Many times they just went into the river without shirt and pants. For superstitious reasons many cowboys did not favor red shirts. Cuffs - Cuffs protected the cowboy's wrist from rope burns and his shirt from becoming frayed on the ends. Many cuffs were highly decorated to reflect the individual's taste. Students may try on these cuffs. 1 Trunk Contents Long underwear – Cowboys sometimes called these one-piece suits "long handles." They wore long underwear in summer and winter and often kept them on while crossing a deep river, which gave them a measure of modesty. Long underwear also provided extra warmth. People usually wore white or red "Union Suits" in the West.
