Because of its close connections to the use of horses and cattle as draft and work animals, saddlery is considered to be one of the oldest rural trades. In addition to saddle making, saddlers produced leather bridles and harnesses needed by oxen, horses and donkeys to enable them to pull and transport heavy loads and agricultural equipment.
\nRural saddlers usually had no permanent workshops. In order to pursue their trade, they had to travel from village to village in search of customers. The bulk of their job was made up of the repair and replacement of damaged leather straps. The saddler’s tools were small and handy and therefore easy to transport. The most important tools included the \u201cstitching horse\u201d (workbench), the saddler’s pliers and hammer, a \u201cclam\u201d for leather stitching, awls, punches and the half round knife for leatherworking.
\nOne of the most important saddlery inventions was the horse collar, a padded harness that originated in the Middle Ages. It distributed the load around a horse’s neck and shoulders when pulling a wagon or plough. Previously heavy loads could only be drawn by the slower and less enduring cattle.
\nSaddlers were always confronted with changes and innovations. The advent of the horse-drawn carriage as a means of transport had a major impact on their craft: both the vehicle interior and the suspension were made of leather and had to be manufactured by saddlers. The same went for the upholstery of furniture and the production of bags, suitcases, boxing gloves and footballs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n
