Abstract
A saddle tree has asymmetric points to accommodate lodging against shoulder blades of a horse which are in nature themselves asymmetric. Suitably the points at least at their forward edges are shock absorbing to minimize the effect of concussion with the shoulder blades of the horse. An air pocket may be provided in the saddle to provide rider comfort in the pubic area and to guard rider from damage done by jolting and rubbing in the pubic area.
Claims9
A spring saddle tree having a resilient unitary base form, points of the tree being asymmetric in forward and rearward directions in which trailing margins of the points are symmetrical in the forward and rearward directions asymmetry being provided by shock absorbing material of differing widths on the leading edge of each one of said points, the shock absorbing material being a double layer of resilient sheet material forming a pocket around the leading edge of each of said points.
