Abstract
A riding saddle comprises, inter alia, two downwardly depending flaps from either side of the seat, which flaps may be altered to provide different configurations so that the saddle may be readily adapted for different riding pursuits. Such adaptability is provided by a generally two-part flap comprising a main part attached to the seat and a plurality of differently contoured removable parts releasably attachable to the main part, either in an aperture thereof, or at a front edge thereof. The invention provides a simple, quick, and relatively lowcost method of adapting a saddle to suit a variety of riding activities, such as show jumping, racing and dressage.
