The two Native American saddles you show both have extremely
high front and rear pommels that are similar to the high front and rear pommels on the early saddles of East Asia that go back to the time of the invention of the saddle by the people of Asia. Nothing unusual about that because I believe that is the source of Native American saddle technology. That belief is based not only on the high pommels on the saddle but also the breast strapping and the crupper belts used by the Native Americans on their saddles which is a primary feature of Asian saddles from the earliest times of
the use of the saddle in Asia.
What is an interesting fact to note on the two Native American saddles above is that they all have an uncanny resemblance to the feature on a western saddle that we know of as the “horn”. The horn on the western saddle is the
top portion of the front pommel on the western saddle and has as its main purpose an anchor for the cowboy’s lariat in roping horses or cattle. Those
pommels on the N/A saddles are so similar that I believe the question can be asked “Is there a connection between the N/A saddle pommels and the western saddle horn and if so which one came first?”
