Abstract

A saddle for equestrian use has panels (2) having sealed air bags (4a, 4b) filled with air at atmospheric pressure to permit an even pressure to be applied over the back of a horse. The adjacent side walls (5a, 5b) of adjacent bags are in abutting engagement to prevent discontinuity of pressure application to the back of the horse.
