Most of these diagrams and photos came from multiple friends/PF members several years ago. As I recall some were provided by Fernand Backaert, some by Roger Newsome, some by my late friend Roger DeBoecke. On the Great War Forum, Joe Sweeney, Robert Dunlop, Cnock and Ian Sumner provided valuable help. On the Military Horse forum site, Pat Holscher and others contributed. If I have left anyone out, I apologize - that's not my intention, just a faulty memory.

Many thanks again to all!

I added a Colonial Spahi saddle and tack photo at the end.
