<p>The invention relates to a saddle for horses, consisting of a saddle tree comprising a head iron (1) and a seat (2), saddle flaps (3) provided on both sides of said seat (2) and sweat flaps (4) lying beneath the saddle flaps (3), a saddle pad (5) that lies on the back of the mount behind the shoulders thereof when the saddle is being used, and stirrup straps (6) lying on or under the saddle flaps (3) and being fastened to stirrup retainers. The saddle is characterised in that, below the point of the head iron (1), the sweat flaps (4) have a backward-facing curved recess (40) and are padded over the entire area thereof. The recess of the invention in the sweat flaps ensures that the saddle allows for absolute shoulder and muscle freedom, unobstructed movement laterally during stretching and optimum flexibility at the rear owing to a special pad position, described in detail hereafter, as far as the 18th thoracic vertebra at the most.</p> |
