About Saddle Size

Bruno Delgrange is one of the brands of French-made jumping saddles very popular with A-circuit hunter/jumper riders and trainers. This brand also encompasses the PJ line of hunter/jumper saddles, and Bruno Delgrange offers dressage saddles, as well. These saddles are generally offered by more prestigious saddle retailers and can be good for a person who rides more than one horse, due to the way the saddle trees are designed.

Saddles date back to the ancient Assyrians, according to Limbrook Livery Stable in Essex, England. The western-style stock saddle that we know today, often referred to as a "cowboy" saddle, was first developed during the Spanish colonial period. It was a modification of the Spanish conquistadores war saddle, or "silla de montar." One of the key elements when purchasing a stock saddle is ensuring that it fits. This is accomplished by measuring the seat size.

Koch Industries, the makers of Koch wire rope clips, is described by Hoover's as "one of the largest (if not the largest) private companies in the U.S." While usually called wire rope clips, wire rope clamps are sometimes called U-bolt cable clamps. They are used to form a loop in the end of wire rope or wire cable. If installed correctly, Koch wire rope clamps will carry 80 percent of the safe working load of the line on which they are installed.
