Definitions

  • Sadc-fes have in the past been constructed in what was a very time consuming and costly operation with the expe ⁇ rienced saddler having to "build up" his saddle on a conventional saddle tree by the addition of webbing, shaped padding and other material . This enables a parti ⁇ cular shape of saddle to be formed which then receives a covering of leather and other materials to provide the finished product.
  • Patent No. 524616 covered a method of saddle construction wherein vast improvements were made to the manner in which a saddle was assembled, with the time of assembly being greatly reduced. Both advantages being extremely important with todays high labour costs.
  • Patent No. 524616 related to a method of making a saddle wherein the upper saddle coverings including the seat, backs and upper flaps are formed into a single upper member, the underside saddle coverings including the panel, lining and underflaps are formed into a single underside member, said upper and underside members being secured together around the periphery of the seat to form a pocket thereby enabling a saddle tree to be inserted, said upper and underside members being secured together and to the cantle of the saddle tree to form a saddle.
  • One of the objects of this invention is to provide a saddle which enables the weight of the rider to be spread over a far greater area of the animals back and thereby provide a more comfortable saddle.
  • the invention resides in a saddle wherein padding or filling is provided in the saddle panels or flaps to eliminate the voids between a riders inner thighs and the body of an animal.
  • Fig. 1 is a reverse plan view of a partially con ⁇ structed saddle
  • Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of Fig. 2 with upper saddle flaps fitted.
  • the padding 29 for the "knee roll" 27A is extended rearwardly 31 to fill the traditional voids.
  • the saddle panels or flaps 23 hanging loosely down from the saddle seat 15 or saddle skirt 19 they are padded to lie in contact with both the inner thighs of the rider and the body of the animal.
  • the padding which is generally in the form of a condensed foam panel 33 is then covered by the traditional skirts, flaps etc of a saddle.
  • the panel 33 shown in the drawings also extends rearwardly to provide support to the rear of the riders thighs.
  • the advantages of the padding or filling 33 is that the weight of the rider is distributed over a very much larger area of the horses back.
  • the weight of the rider being taken by the seat bones, thighs, knees on the knee roll and by the stirrups.
  • the greater distribution of weight provides a far more comfortable saddle for both the horse and rider.
