Mongolian nomadic saddle - Emeel 3D model

cgtrader

This traditional saddle was used by Khalkha men and women in Mongolia's central region, but its popularity is rising due to its vibrant decorations and ability to adapt to nomads' body shapes. The Mongolian traditional saddle was designed for horses to move quickly, reflecting the way people ride them, sitting forward and stopping the horse. In comparison, the high-raised pommel and cantle of the Mongolian saddle provide stability for riders, protecting them from falls in both directions, which are considered most hazardous. The small seat size is perfectly suited for Mongolian horses' short backs; Western saddles remain too large and can cause harm to their spines.
