Anybody got any idea what the following terms are in Urdu?
Nobody in my fammily, at least those in the UK have any idea what these items are called and few have any interest in riding.
I know that “Zeen” is Sadle.
“Kathti” is Numah
“Laghaam” is reins I think?
“Raqaab” Is I think Stirrup?
After that the following terms totally evade me.
I have no idea what the Udru is for Bridle
or for Harness
or for holster
Any help with this matter would be much appreciated… 
Re: Sadlery...???

Re: Sadlery…???
What is the different between Zeen and lagaam?
holster is tapancha geer 
I’m quite bad in those arms and ammunation terminologhy. Peaceful me 
Re: Sadlery...???
Zeen is the saddle... the sort of chair if you will, that one needs to place on the horse when riding. Offcourse this is not entirely a nessecity, one can ride without it and bareback riding can be quite easy... but one misses the comfort of a saddle and also a saddle is a good stable fighting platform as well as a mutlifunctional storage compartment.
Holsters are not only for weapons but come in usefull for essentails like blankets and water bottles.
Lagaam are riens, they are attached to the Bridle and help control the motion of the horse... like a steering wheel if you will. I cant imagine riding a horse without a bridle and I am a pretty good rider. Its possible though if you control the horse with your knees and use pressure to guide the mount to where you want to go.

jahaan tak maiN samajh sakaa huN:
zeen = cushion/gadda
kaaThii = the wooden frame that sits on the horse's/camel's back
lagaam = rein
rikaab = stirrup
holster = tamanchageer [as suggested by Muqwee Bhai]
Harness = khooNtaa
Bridle = zirah, buktar

Re: Sadlery…???
Hmmm… I’ll get some pictures.
This is a bridle in its most common form. ussually they are leather but different cultures can use different materials and anything from rope to cloth has been used.
The next item is the Lagaam or riens you can see them in above image too but here they are in some more detail.
I think the term for the last item is raqaab in udru but i’m not sure. In English its merely Stirrup and it allows you to stand while riding… important if you want to have more control of the horse and also allows for you to move better whilst mounted atop horse without risk of being knocked off so easily when you impact or slow down. They are sometimes part of the saddle but not always.

I bow to your great wisdom… I did not even need to use imagery…
Re: Sadlery...???
faris man, i was recently reading some fiction book, but it mentioned that mongols under chenghis had become capable riders with stirrups, but alexander's macedonians rode without stirrups, and hence had to develop a much higher degree of riding skills. sounds legit?
Re: Sadlery...???
^ Totally Alexanders men never had Stirrups nor the Romans... hell come to think of it Even the Mongols stole the idea from Chinese... so yeah... Alexanders men pretty much had to cope like Geronimo did...
Re: Sadlery...???
