SLING FOR SUPPORTING A SADDLE

摘要

A saddle sling for supporting a saddle against a vertical support such as a fence post includes a hook (e.g., C-, V-, U- or L-shaped hook) configured to engage a cantle or pommel edge of a saddle (i.e., an equestrian saddle). The hook defines a gap into which the engaged edge of the saddle is received. A tether loop extends from the hook. The loop is sufficiently long to extend from the engaged edge past the opposite edge and over a vertical support, such as a fence post or picket. The loop may be fixed, adjustable or retractable. The saddle is thus held between the hook and the fence or fence post.

1. A saddle sling comprising:
a hook configured to engage an edge of one of a cantle and pommel of a saddle, said edge being an engaged edge of the saddle, said hook comprising a first segment that extends below the saddle at the engaged edge and a second segment that is attached to the first segment and extends above the engaged edge of the saddle, and a tether loop extending from the hook, said loop having a proximal end attached to the hook and an opposite distal end, a distance from the proximal end and said distance being sufficient to allow the tether loop to pass under the saddle from the engaged edge to past the opposite edge by a sufficient additional distance for the distal end of the tether loop to slip over and engage a vertical support, and said tether loop being comprised of a flexible elongated structure.
