Dependent claims

A harness saddle for a harness of a horse for pulling a cart, the horse having a head, a tail, a back, and flanks, the harness saddle comprising:

a first portion configured to extend to a first flank of the horse between the head and the tail, the first portion having a first edge, a second edge opposite the first edge, a central longitudinal axis extending longitudinally through the first portion and spaced from the first and second edges of the first portion, and a distal end portion distal with respect to a center part of the harness saddle, the first edge of the first portion configured to be disposed proximal to the head of the horse and distal to the tail of the horse when the harness saddle is positioned on the horse, the second edge of the first portion configured to be disposed distal to the head of the horse and proximal to the tail of the horse when the harness saddle is positioned on the horse;
a second portion configured to extend to a second flank of the horse between the head and the tail and opposite the first side of the horse, the second portion having a first edge, a second edge opposite the first edge, a central longitudinal axis extending longitudinally through the second portion and spaced from the first and second edges of the second portion, and a distal end portion distal with respect to the center part of the harness saddle, the first edge of the second portion configured to be disposed proximal to the head of the horse and distal to the tail of the horse when the harness saddle is positioned on the horse, the second edge of the second portion configured to be disposed distal to the head of the horse and proximal to the tail of the horse when the harness saddle is positioned on the horse;
and
an area arching from the center part of the harness saddle at the back of the horse towards the first and second flanks of the horse when the harness saddle is positioned on the horse, the area arching in the direction of the tail of the horse when the harness saddle is positioned on the horse, so that the harness saddle bypasses the withers of the horse at a back of the horse, when the harness saddle is worn by the horse, the area arching from the first edges of the first and second portions towards the center part and the tail of the horse when the harness saddle is positioned on the horse at a first arched edge and also arching from the second edges of the first and second portions away from the center part towards the tail of the horse when the harness saddle is positioned on the horse at a second arched edge opposite the first arched edge,
wherein the first and second portions are configured to respectively extend down along the flanks of the horse from the back of the horse such that the distal end portions of the first and second portions are at the first and second flanks of the horse when the harness saddle is positioned on the horse,
a central axis of the harness saddle extending through the first arched edge and the second arched edge and being substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the first portion and the longitudinal axis of the second portion, and
the harness saddle including the first portion, the second portion, and the area arching from the center part of the harness saddle are integrated together as a single piece.
