Myth of the Old Hungarian riding saddle
Original language description
The presented work illustrates the history and origin of the equestrian saddle as used by the Magyar (Hungarian) tribes during the time of the Hungarian Conquest of the Carpathian Basin (9 th to 13 th century CE). In the introduction of this document there are analyses of the archaeological specificities of tomb complexes on the land now occupied by modern-day Hungary which define the type of riding saddles used by the ancient Magyars. Reconstructions of bone adornments on equestrian saddles from Soltszentimre were conducted based upon findings from biomechanics and reverse engineering. It was shown that Old Hungarian saddles are akin to saddles of a Hunno-Turkish construction?a wooden saddle tree with wide saddle bars. This type of saddle was used upuntil the end of the first millennium throughout the whole of Eurasia. Further development of equestrian saddles on the land of modern-day Hungary was the result of new, imported technologies. More modern-type saddles?having narrow saddle
