just an inspiration for today -
Both show the North African Moors saddling their spirited Barb (?) horses.
So I am and looking at some of his equine paintings and I wonder about his Moorish horsemen and their tack.
Nota bene a beautiful Moorish saddle from Ottoman Turkey at the Livrustkammaren. An example of XIX century saddle. Modern but traditional saddles from Maghreb.
