Abstract
A saddle has a saddle tree, a laterally aligned, generally arcuate, downwardly concave spanning brace mounted to, and beneath, the saddle tree, a seat member rigidly mountable to the spanning brace and extending rearwardly of the spanning brace to a cantle, the cantle extending laterally and generally parallel to the spanning brace, the spanning brace and the cantle extending laterally between, and pivotally mounted to, opposed facing mirror image longitudinally extending first and second elongate bearing members, the spanning brace and the cantle pivotally mounted to the elongate bearing members of releasably securable pivotable hinges.
Claims11
A saddle comprising a saddle tree, a laterally aligned, generally arcuate, downwardly concave spanning brace mounted to, and beneath, said saddle tree, a seat member rigidly mountable to said spanning brace and extending rearwardly of said spanning brace to a cantle, said cantle extending laterally and generally parallel to said spanning brace, said spanning brace and said cantle extending laterally between, and pivotally mounted to, opposed facing mirror image longitudinally extending generally rigid first and second elongate bearing members, said rigid first and second elongate bearing members extending rigidly between respective longitudinal ends of said first and second elongate bearing members, said spanning brace and said cantle pivotally mounted to said elongate bearing members, by means of releasably securable pivotable mounting means, so as to only pivot about a corresponding pair of longitudinally extending, laterally spaced apart, first and second axes of rotation.
A saddle comprising a saddle tree, a laterally aligned, generally arcuate, downwardly concave spanning brace mounted to, and beneath, said saddle tree, a seat member rigidly mountable to said spanning brace and extending rearwardly of said spanning brace to a cantle, said cantle extending laterally and generally parallel to said spanning brace, said spanning brace and said cantle extending laterally between, and pivotally mounted to, opposed facing mirror image longitudinally extending rigid first and second elongate bearing members, said spanning brace and said cantle pivotally mounted to said elongate bearing members by means of releasably securable pivotable mounting means,
- wherein said releasably securable mounting means comprises opposed upper and lower mounting plates, secured respectively to corresponding said spanning brace or said cantle and said elongate bearing members, said mounting plates when thus secured aligning collars rigidly mounted to said mounting plates for releasably securable journalling of elongate pins through said collars along generally parallel and longitudinally extending, laterally spaced apart, first and second axes of rotation.
