File:Criollo with Paraguayan horse tack.jpg

Original file(3,264 × 2,448 pixels, file size: 5.05 MB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Description Criollo (South American horse breed, Equus caballus). Paraguayan cowboys use a version of the typical saddle from southern South America. The core of the saddle consists of two leather rolls that are filled with a sedge (Piri, Cyperus giganteus) for cushioning, these are laid along the horse's spine and sandwiched between several layers of wool and cotton blankets, cow leather pieces, and a thick sheepskin. For luxurious comfort, this may be topped by a soft piece of capivara leather. This "sandwich" is attached to the horse using two leather or rope cinches. The result is a wide but comfortable seat for the rider and a saddle that fits any horse.
