Bar stools in Superstition Saloon

I could image they are not...

I'm no cowpoke but:
For one thing, I'm not seeing any stirrups on these saddles. I see the leg panels on some, but no stirrups which would help considerably to take your full body weight off of your bottom, plus make it easier to adjust to a more comfortable position.
For another, growing up on a horse riding western pleasure, the pure joy and freedom of riding was so great that discomfort was not noticed.

Yes, a horse is considerably softer than a barstool, but I imagine a bigger factor is that when you are on a horse, your body is constantly making adjustments to maintain your balance, and this exercise probably makes a saddle much more comfortable. Maybe some cowpokes can enlighten us some more on this subject?

I sat on one and shared a big plate of nachos with our relatives and that half hour or so was enough. Can't imagine sitting on one all day. Maybe the horse would make it softer?

I take it that thirsty cowpokes don't know how to sit on anything but a saddle...?
