## Abstract

A horse saddle blanket, which comprises: a top part that comprises a plurality of springs; a lower part that comprises a plurality of piezoelectric cells aligned with the springs and configured to transform the mechanical energy generated by the pressure of the rider during riding into electrical energy; an energy storage device, responsible for storing the electrical energy generated by the piezoelectric cells; and an outlet connector for the connection and charging of an electronic device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A horse saddle blanket, comprising:
a top part that comprises a plurality of springs;
a lower part that comprises a plurality of piezoelectric cells aligned with the springs and configured to transform the mechanical energy generated by the pressure of the rider during riding into electrical energy;
