While manufacturing of this saddle by Confederate Arsenals is unclear, the Muley was purchased in large numbers by private contractors for service in the Confederate Army.  The Muley is distinctive because it has no horn.  "Muley" is a corruption of the French word "Mulet" (pronounced moo~lay), meaning mule, synonymous with a neutered male (no "horn").  The Muley is notable for its low flattened cantle and its wide rising pommel.
