Best Answer

The first saddles were probably some type of blanket kept on the horse's back by some form of girth, followed by more elaborate designs. The solid tree came later on, though early stirrups came before the solid tree, the modern paired stirrup that attaches to the tree was the last part of the saddle to become part of the saddle we use today.

What is equivalent to western saddle horn on English saddle?

There is no equivalent to a saddle horn on an English saddle. The English saddle has no horn to any equivalent. The Western saddle was made for the cowboys, who needed something to help anchor the rope to after roping a cow. This is where the Western saddle was invented, designed for comfort for long days of hard riding in the saddle, and for usefulness, which is why it has all the little straps to tie things to, perfect room for saddle bags and such, and with the saddle horn having the direct purpose of dallying the rope. The English saddle was not used by cowboys, and therefore, there was no use for a saddle horn, so there is nothing there.

For full sized bicycles, seated pedaling saves some effort. For jumping and rough riding the saddle can be pinched between the legs to add control to the bike. If you land hard, ending up on the saddle is likely to hurt less than slamming into the frame or the wheel.
