Combination surcingle and weighted training device

A weighted training surcingle device, the device comprising:

• a belt having a top side and a bottom side sized and shaped to simulate a spatial area of legs and buttocks of a person, the belt having a midpoint for positioning adjacent a spinal area of a horse dividing the belt into a first half for positioning adjacent a first flank of a horse and a second half for positioning adjacent a second flank of a horse;
• a first pad adjacent the midpoint of the belt-attached to the bottom side of the first half of the belt;
• a first plurality of spaced pouches attached to the top side of the first half of the belt, the spaced pouches providing means for holding weight adjacent a first flank of a horse simulating leg weight distribution of a person;
• a first plurality of receiving rings interspaced between the first plurality of spaced pouches for attaching at least one line to the belt for training of a horse;
• a second pad adjacent the midpoint of the belt attached to the bottom side of the second half of the belt and opposite to the first pad, the first and second pads coacting to distribute weight away from a spinal area of a horse when the belt is placed upon a horse;
• a second plurality of spaced pouches attached to the top side of the second half of the belt, the spaced pouches providing means for holding weight adjacent a second flank of a horse simulating leg weight distribution of a person;
• a second plurality of receiving rings interspaced between the second plurality of spaced pouches for attaching at least one line to the belt for training of a horse;
• a centrally located pouch attached to the top side of the belt and spanning the midpoint of the belt for holding weight adjacent a spinal area of a horse simulating body weight of a person.

A weighted training surcingle device in combination with a bridle, the combination comprising:

• a weighted belt sized and shaped to simulate weight distribution of a person seatedly straddling an object, the belt having a midpoint for positioning adjacent a spinal area of a horse;
• a pad attached to the weighted belt for distributing weight away from a spinal area of a horse when the weighted belt is placed upon a horse;
• a plurality of receiving rings spaced about the midpoint of the belt for attaching at least one line to the belt for training of a horse;
• a bridle sized and shaped for placement about a horse head;
• at least one guiding ring attached to the bridle;
• a line connecting the guiding ring and at least one receiving ring of the plurality of receiving rings, the plurality of receiving rings spaced about the belt providing means for altering the angular displacement of the line thereby restricting movement of a horse head within the bridle to differing ranges of motion.

A weighted training surcingle device, the device comprising:

• a belt having a top side and a bottom side sized and shaped to simulate a spatial area of legs and buttocks of a person, the belt having a midpoint for positioning adjacent a spinal area of a horse dividing the belt into a first half for positioning adjacent a first flank of a horse and a second half for positioning adjacent a second flank of a horse;
• a rigid plate within the belt spanning the midpoint of the belt;
• a first pad adjacent the midpoint of the belt attached to the bottom side of the first half of the belt;
• a first plurality of spaced pouches attached to the top side of the first half of the belt, the spaced pouches providing means for holding weight adjacent a first flank of a horse simulating leg weight distribution of a person;
• a first plurality of receiving rings interspaced between the first plurality of spaced pouches for attaching at least one line to the belt for training of a horse;
• a second pad adjacent the midpoint of the belt attached to the bottom side of the second half of the belt and opposite to the first pad, the first and second pads coacting to distribute weight away from a spinal area of a horse when the belt is placed upon a horse;
• a second plurality of spaced pouches attached to the top side of the second half of the belt, the spaced pouches providing means for holding weight adjacent a second flank of a horse simulating leg weight distribution of a person;
• a second plurality of receiving rings interspaced between the second plurality of spaced pouches for attaching at least one line to the belt for training of a horse;
• a centrally located pouch attached to the top side of the belt and spanning the midpoint of the belt for holding weight adjacent a spinal area of a horse simulating body weight of a person, the centrally located pouch having a flapped opening oriented such that a flap of the flapped opening opens forwardly toward withers of a horse and away from flanks of a horse when placed upon a horse.
