Horse Riding Equipment
Horse riding equipment, which on the territory of Kazakhstan appeared in the Saka period, made a real technological revolution in the field of logistics and transportation. The soft and stirrup-free Saka-style saddle allowed people to ride horses fast and for a long time, saving horses’ backs without tiring them. In addition to horses’ comfort, this allowed the riders to steer their horses in all directions. At last, the true horseback rider was born! Which led to all kind of new possibilities, including long-distance transportation, horse races, and of course, new modes of mounted warfare.
