Harness or saddle?

[Tom Dunlap]

What do we use?

What's the difference?

Does it make a difference what it's called?

To me:

A harness is what we sit in.

A saddle is what we sit on.

Ask the horse if there's a difference

Is it work positioning, or fall protection?

I use the terms interchangeably, often hear both used in place of the other, and see no harm in swapping them freely.

in the UK a harness is what you wear a saddle is what you ride a horse with

I like saddle, it sounds cool, a harness is what you put on little kids to keep them from running on ya and i like being a cowboy, it's good to slide it on and say, "back in the saddle again!"

sounds weird when you say harness....

What if we combine the words like.... harddle, or..... sadness...... ok, maybe knot...

... thoroughly expecting this to turn into a ribald discussion ...

... is being saddled better than being harnessed? ...

 

[TimberJack]

As long as we don't call them climbing belts!

It is a work harness but I call it a saddle.

My first saddle had a batten seat and I remember seeing one of the first saddles with seperate leg loops (and I did not like it at first).

Sadness. That's funny!

 

[NickfromWI]

I use "harness" the most.

 

[TANNER]

Put fall suspenders on your saddle and you got both.

 

[cashmoneytreeboy]

this sounds like a question for tobe/

 

[Paul Biester]

is the stuff you put on spaghetti sauce, or gravy?

 

[GibsonTreeCare]

harness sounds gay

 

[treeness]

lol to the point. What about belt?

 

[JTree]

I call it a saddle until you put rated suspenders on it, at which point I call it a harness *shrugs* IDK why. I like "saddle" though, same way I've always called spikes "spurs". Saddle + spurs fits the cowboy motif....maybe it's just the Texas in me.

 

[GibsonTreeCare]

I call them spurs too, but I'm an Ontario Cowboy at heart saddles and spurs it is, harness and spikes is silly
