Claims20
A cover for an equestrian saddle, the equestrian saddle having a top side and a bottom side, the cover comprising:
- a flexible sheet having an outer perimeter, and dimensioned to substantially cover the top side of the equestrian saddle;
- a saddle attachment configured to elastically couple to one or more portions of the bottom side of the equestrian saddle;
- and
- a stirrup-egress integrated with the flexible sheet, the stirrup-egress including an elastic aperture positioned centric to the outer perimeter, the stirrup-egress dimensioned such that stirrups fixed to the equestrian saddle are able to be passed through said stirrup-egress via said elastic aperture and placed atop the flexible sheet without directly touching the equestrian saddle.
1 more element
A saddle cover system, the saddle cover system comprising:
- a saddle cover including a flexible body defined by an outer surface, an inner volume, a thickness, and an inner surface, said outer surface being integral with said inner surface and separated via said thickness, said flexible body configured to substantially wrap about a saddle during an in-storage condition to protect said saddle from damage, said flexible body further having a stirrup-egress-aperture, and
- wherein said saddle cover allows said saddle to be covered via said flexible body substantially within said inner volume, and stirrups to egress from said stirrup-egress-aperture to be placed adjacent said outer surface of said flexible body such that said stirrups are isolated from touching said saddle during storage.
A method of use for a saddle cover system, the method comprising the steps of:
- inserting a saddle within an inner volume of a saddle cover,
- pulling stirrups through a stirrup-egress-aperture, and
- placing said stirrups adjacent an outer surface such that said stirrups do not contact said saddle during an in-storage condition.
