Abstract
A horse riding saddle includes a saddle tree disposed in a cover, the saddle tree including an arch that forms a pommel. The saddle includes at least one sensor positioned in the saddle, close to the pommel, and connected to the saddle tree by a thorough connection under the arch of the saddle-tree, in a longitudinal and vertical plane (PMV) of the saddle-tree.
Claims20
A horse riding saddle comprising:
- a saddle-tree (20) placed within a covering that covers the saddle-tree (20),
- said saddle-tree (20) having an arch (24) that forms a pommel (18), a bar (26) that has two lateral bands (28), a curved rear portion (30) that connects rear ends of the two lateral bands (28) and supports a cantle (34), front ends of the two lateral bands (28) being connected to the arch (24),
- wherein the arch (24) and the bar (26) form an opening (36) bounded by a peripheral edge (38), and
- at least one sensor (50) being fixed under a centralmost portion of the arch (24) onto a lower surface of the centralmost portion of the arch (24) in a central longitudinal and vertical plane (PMV) of the saddle-tree (20) extending along and passing through an axis corresponding to an axis of a spinal column of the horse having the riding saddle mounted thereon, the at least one sensor (50) being connected to the saddle-tree (20) by a thorough connection under the arch (24) of the saddle-tree (20) with the at least one sensor (50) being immobile in relation to the saddle-tree (20),
- a fixed case (100) containing the at least one sensor (50), the fixed case being attached to the saddle-tree (20) under the arch (24) of the saddle-tree (20), the fixed case (100) having a length less than a shortest distance between the two lateral bands (28) as defined by a line passing through the fixed case (100),
- the at least one sensor (50) not being connected to the covering of the saddle,
- the thorough connection being in the central longitudinal and vertical plane (PMV) of the saddle-tree (20) extending along and passing through the axis corresponding to the axis of a spinal column of the horse having the riding saddle mounted thereon.
