Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for reversing the seat of a horse saddle, said saddle being held at the front by stop means cooperating with the horse's shoulders and possibly being fixed on the horse's back by a strap, the ends carry straps cooperating with the counter-straps fixed to the saddle and a shock absorbing device adaptable to said reversing device.
  • the saddle is held on the horse's back by a strap which passes through a very specific area of the horse's body called a strap passage, and towards which it tends to be replaced as a result of the morphology.
  • a strap passage a very specific area of the horse's body
  • the seat is then generally positioned perpendicular to the zone centered on the ninth dorsal vertebra and the latter must support the weight of the rider.
  • the position of the saddle is too far in front of the center of gravity of the horse and the work or training has, among other goals, to develop musculature capable of compensating for this imbalance and allowing the horse to regain its natural gaits.
  • the weight of the rider is applied to the horse at a point resulting from the position of his plate and the attachment of the stirrups carrying the stirrups.
  • the weight of the rider tends to collapse the area of rachism under the saddle.
  • the position of the saddle ( Figure 2) is such that the weight is applied to the level of the 9th dorsal vertebra and the whole tourniquet collapses since in this zone the vertebral bodies naturally dive forward .
  • the slightest sagging of this region causes them to touch and causes symptoms of interspinous osteoarthritis.
  • This condition is very painful and then self-maintains, the pain causing a reflex spasm of the muscles of the inter-vertebral joints.
  • the invention proposes the production of a seat recoil device for transferring the weight of the rider backwards in the area of the 13th dorsal vertebra which is the most solid area of the rachism considered without muscle and that where the sagging is the least painful since the spinous processes are the shortest there.
  • Means are known which make it possible to maintain a saddle in its conventional position during a malformation or a growth not yet completed of the withers of a horse. Indeed, in these cases the hollow of the shoulders are not sufficiently formed to allow the padding of the saddle to be housed there and to prevent it from moving forward.
  • a false tourniquet consisting of a surfaix bearing stops against which abuts the front of the saddle panels. The surfaix then occupies the strap passage and the strap which holds the saddle is placed behind it on a zone of mobility of the dimensions, which has the disadvantage of compressing the rib cage.
  • the false tourniquet being independent of the saddle, the exercise given to the horse causes the saddle to be pushed forward with the consequence of requesting the advancement of the false tourniquet and frequently causing discomfort in the elbows and injury to the level of ars.
  • shock absorbers consist of elastic foam plates or pneumatic cushions.
  • the invention provides a saddle reversing device which avoids the drawbacks previously mentioned for the use of abutment means, cooperating with the shoulders of the horse against which the front of the saddle is held, these said means being independent or integral with the saddle and possibly held by the saddle strap.
  • the stop means are carried by the front edge of a saddle cloth and consist inwardly of the padding cooperating with the hollow of the horse's shoulders and outwardly by stops against which comes to bear the front of the panels.
  • the stop means and the saddle are held by a single strap, having at its ends, on its rear longitudinal edge a rear protruding part on which are provided straps capable of cooperating with against - straps of the saddle and near its front longitudinal edge and approximately parallel thereto, at least one front fixing means cooperating with the stop means.
  • the invention further provides an adjustable shock absorbing device capable of being placed between the saddle reversing device and the saddle and comprising at least one pocket receiving the shock absorbing material, comprising along a central line quick fixing means allowing the adjustment of its longitudinal position on the additional fixing means provided on the dorsal line of the saddle cloth.
  • the saddle recoil device applies the weight of the rider in the region of the 13th and 14th dorsal vertebrae (Figure 5), which is the keystone of the spine and the most solid area of the rachism even while ignoring the muscles.
  • a conventional saddle 1 normally includes a saddle frame consisting of a front tree and a rear tree connected by bands. Under these trees and these bands are housed on each side of the cushions or panels 2.
  • the seat 3 which is the part on which the rider is placed is housed between the trees.
  • the quarters 4 which cover and protect the panels.
  • the straps 5 are fixed on the bands, on which the straps 6 of the strap 7 which are used to fix the saddle and the stirrup holders 35 are fixed.
  • the districts are covered by false districts.
  • the front end of the panels carries inward padding which is housed in the hollow of the horse's shoulders to prevent the saddle from advancing. Due to the need to pass the strap through the strap passage and fix it approximately plumb with the seat to keep it firmly on the horse's back and prevent it from leaving the horse's back, when it ci takes exercise, it is not possible to move the girths towards the front tree.
  • stop means 14 which, according to the embodiment shown in Figure 3 comprise a strap 7 ( Figure 3) which has at its ends 8, 9 on its rear longitudinal edge 10 a part 11 protruding rearwards on which are provided straps 6 capable of cooperating with the counter-straps 5 of the saddle, and, near its front longitudinal edge 12 and approximately parallel thereto at least one front fixing means 13 capable of cooperating with stop means 14 to hold them against the shoulders of the horse.
  • the abutment means are carried by the front edge 15 of a saddle cloth 16 and are made up inwards of padding 17 cooperating with the hollow of the shoulders of the horse and towards the outside of stops 18 against which the front of the panels 2 comes to bear.
  • the front panels 19, 20 of the saddle cloth carry complementary means 21 of the front fixing means 13 provided at the ends of the strap 7.
  • These fixing means are formed according to the example , a strap and a buckle.
  • the belts 21 of the saddle cloth are fixed so as to be in line with one another, the straight line joining them passes behind the stops 18 and the withers of the horse. It is possible, where appropriate, to reinforce the carpet directly above the tourniquet in order to free it or a notch.
  • the rear protruding parts 11 form a right triangle whose short side of the right angle is in alignment with the edge 8 and 9 of the end of the strap and approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal edges 10.
  • the trapezoidal part 22 of the strap is made of a relatively rigid material and must be of short length so as not to interfere with the breathing of the horse.
  • the saddle cloth, carrying the stop means constitutes in itself a recoil mat which can be maintained in a conventional manner by the saddle and its strap, the fixing means then being formed by the latter.
  • FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of a saddle reversing device according to the invention, in which the abutment means consist of the front padding 23 and 24 of the panels 25, of a saddle formed by a frame of normal saddle 26 on the front tree 27 from which is fixedly or movably mounted, a front tree here referred to as a front tree extension 28 and whose wings carry the complementary means 29 of the front fixing means 13, of the ends of the strap 7.
  • the tree extension 28 can be provided adjustable in length so as to set the adjustment of the distance from the seat relative to the hollow of the shoulders in which the padding forms a stop and thus take account of the morphology of the horse. In the case of the adjustable tree extension, this can be covered with panels independent of those of the saddle frame supporting this seat.
  • the saddle frame is of a length such that the seat is plumb with the 13th and 14th dorsal vertebrae while the padding of the panels are housed in the hollows of the shoulder.
  • the frame carries countersons at the base of the seat and the wings of the front tree, the complementary means of the front fixing means 13 of the ends of the strap 7.
  • the stops 18 arranged on the outside of the saddle cloth are removable so that they can be replaced depending on the horse, the distance between the shoulder grooves and the 13th and 14th dorsal vertebrae being liable to vary from horse to horse .
  • these stops can be adjustable lengthwise.
  • the position of the saddle is determined not only by the distance from the stops to the seat, but also by the distance of the straps 6 from the strap by means of front attachment 13.
  • this distance adjustable there is provided a certain number of straps allowing a gradual longitudinal displacement of the order of ten centimeters towards the rear, corresponding approximately to the average distance between the 9th dorsal vertebra (classic saddle position) and the 13th and 14th dorsal vertebrae, position steephead Valley.
  • the damping device 30 ( Figures 6 and 7), according to the invention, adaptable to the previously described reversing devices and in particular to the reversing mat 16, has the form of a mat, consisting of at least one pocket in which is placed the cushioning material.
  • the device according to the example of FIG. 6 has forward two ears 31 which are placed symmetrically on the mat 16 and on either side of the dorsal line 32.
  • the fixing device preferably consists of a quick fixing system, for example a "VELCRO" strip allowing an adjustable longitudinal position of the damping device relative to the mat 16.
  • the pocket is open, for example, along its midline.
  • the material is in the form of a panel of dimensions corresponding to those of the pocket, or fragments of more or less large dimensions, means for rapidly closing the openings being provided.
  • the damping device is separated transversely into two pockets, an anterior pocket forming the ears 31 and a rear pocket 34.
  • Each of the pockets carries a quick fixing system which cooperates with a system of additional fixing provided on the back line of the carpet.
  • This two-part design allows the shock absorber to be precisely and independently adapted to the morphology of the horse.
  • open or quick-closing pockets allows the use of quality shock absorbing materials different or of different thickness as well as cushions presenting zones with different damping allowing to compensate in a simple and fast way, during the saddle the morphological differences, or to regulate the importance of the damping according to the anatomical zones more or less sensitive to the horse.
  • the damping material is a polyurethane elastomer, such as that known under the name of "SORBOTHANE”.
  • the damping device as described can be used with conventional saddle pads where it can not only play the role of shock absorber, but also depending on the type of saddle used, that of reversing stops.
