The Saddle Stiffener - Digging Up Memories

Liz Pounds a volunteer for the Trust, reminisces about her experiences learning to ride a horse and goes on to explain how a small, rare object contributed to the success of the Roman cavalry.
As part of the wood digitisation project, we asked members of the Vindolanda team what thoughts and memories their favourite object from the wooden collection brought up for them. Find out more about the project and the exhibition at www.vindolanda.com/digging-up-memories
