An anatomically conforming cycle saddle having a compound surface including an elongated horn section transitioning rearwardly into a laterally flared, raised cantle. A perineum/genital groove is symmetrically disposed along the longitudinal axis of the generally horizontally upper horn surface as seen in plan view. The cantle, having an angle of inclination in the range of 35 DEG -55 DEG , preferably 45 DEG , includes a pair of opposed, bilaterally symmetrical, inclined dished surfaces, and has a generally triangular, bilaterally symmetrical, raised, inclined coccyx support member disposed centrally and rearwardly therebetween. The concavity of the dished surfaces begin in the forward-most horizontal part of the cantle and extend deeply in the central portion of the cantle, inclining to vertical at the rearward cantle lip. The upper surface of the coccyx support member is inclined at an angle of about 30 DEG to the horizontal, and transitions smoothly with the cantle lip and adjacent steeply inclined inside areas of the dished surfaces at its rearward, widely flared, elevated end and with the pelvic arch ridge at its forward, narrow, lower end. The pelvic arch ridge then transitions smoothly into the generally horizontal upper horn surface. In the preferred best mode, the coccyx supprt member is defined by a slightly concave-up top surface and steep, rearwardly and outwardly flared side surfaces. All of the defined zones are smoothly flared into each other via intermediate transition zones. |
