chaldar (horse attire). XVI century
Artist Vladimir Semenov. ![]() Saddles, shabracks and chaldary (horse covers, collected from the metallic plates, sewn on the cloth, that shut croup, sides and breast of horse and had the specific shielding designation) were richly finished by gold, enamels, precious stones. Jenkinson visited Moscow in 1557, he wrote: "their saddles make from the tree and the veins, they are gilded, are decorated with Damascus work and are covered with cloth or morocco". Both ceremonial and combat Russian saddles were characterized by original construction, relying on the back of horse only by saddle regiments: front pommel was high, in the majority of the cases with the inclination forward. Rear pommel is made with lower sloping, in consequence of which it did not trouble turning in the saddle. Baron Sigismund Herberstein, who twice visited Moscow with the diplomatic mission in the beginning OF THE XVI century, so describes horse the decoration of those days, accepted in the Russian troops: "... saddles are fitted out in them with such calculation, that the riders can Beza any labor be turned and to stretch bow... occasion from uzdy in their use long and at the end cut; they tie it to the finger of left hand so that it would be possible to grip the bow and, after stretching it, to start. Although they together and simultaneously hold 8 hands bridle, bow, sabre, arrow and lash however it is deft and Beza any difficulty they know how to use them ". Russian stirrups had two forms in essence: some with the narrow arc and the round base, others - in the form of the bent narrow strip, which is reduced upwards. The construction of Russian harness ideally satisfied the requirements, which were being presented by war time with the nomads, by basic enemy of Moscow state. A. Yurasovskiy |
