Abstract
Riding saddle having a two-stage, additionally elastic girth for fastening on a horse. Due to the two-stage, preferably elastic girthing, the riding saddle has the advantage of a firm fit on the horse's back. It has shown that due to the girthing according to the invention, an otherwise identical saddle slides forward significantly less on the horse during riding.
