A glass has certain dispositions, for example the disposition to shatter when struck. But what is this disposition? It seems on the one hand to be a perfectly real property, a genuine respect of similarity common to glasses, china cups, and anything else fragile.
The first saddle is believed to have been invented in 365 AD by the Sarmations. Proud horsemen who used their horses in battle and also sacrificed them to the gods, their saddle creations were brought back to Europe by the Huns.
Before long it was discovered that a rider with short stirrups who stood up over his horse could provide the horseâs legs and shoulders with more freedom of movement, enabling it to move faster. Weight was also found to slow down a horse. Flat Racing Saddles became lighter and placed the jockey as high up as possible. Before long, racing saddles, resembling the average âexerciseâ saddle used in flat race training today, emerged. These saddles have longer sides (flaps) and a stronger, more steadily built saddletree (wooden frame) as the horse spends many hours under such a saddle and its comfort is paramount.
