What were some of the problems caused by the McClellan saddle?
ChuckSiata
The horse saddle created by General George B. McClellan was an excellent innovation. One thing it did was ease the pressure on a horses backbone. The saddle also had rings that allowed a cavalry man to attach on extra equipment. And, that was the problem. Cavalry soldiers overloaded their horses with so much extra equipment it slowed down and tired the horses. As the Union's horses became exhausted, the Union, by 1864 was able to supply its armies with 500 new horses everyday.
