Abstract

A saddle defined by padding presenting an upper layer and a lower layer, webbing straps embedded between the layers of padding, and front and rear tree sections connected to the padding and independently movable with respect to each other and responsive to the movement of a horse. The arrangement is such as to provide a seating area between the front and rear tree sections and to, thereby, distribute pressure onto a large area on the horse's back, eliminating the necessity of bulky riggings and heavy leather straps, and, as well, to afford the rider added comfort and considerably closer contact with the horse that has been possible by saddles previously in use.
