Abstract

A device, designed to be used in horse riding, includes hand grips linked to a collar enclosing a horse's neck. The hand grips are compact and do not hinder the use of reins, the element linking the hand grip to the collar partly consists of an elastic and the collar is fixed midway on the neck so as to allow the hands translational and lateral freedom. The device enables to avoid faulty handling on the experienced rider's part, enables the beginner to find the right balance and controls the horse's mouth.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif, destiné à être utilisé en équitation, composé de poignées reliées à un collier passé autour de l'encolure d'un cheval (voir DE 29 09 113 A).The present invention relates to a device for use in riding, consisting of handles connected to a collar passed around the neck of a horse (see DE 29 09 113 A).

Le dispositif permettra d'éviter les « fautes de mains » du cavalier confirmé, assistera le cavalier débutant dans sa recherche d'équilibre et préservera la bouche de son cheval.The device will prevent the "hands mistakes" of the confirmed rider, assist the novice rider in his search for balance and preserve the mouth of his horse.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif selon la revendication 1 visant a faciliter la pratique de l'équitation en agissant sur la fixité et l'indépendance des mains.The present invention relates to a device according to claim 1 for facilitating the practice of riding by acting on the fixity and independence of the hands.

L'indépendance des aides (l'assiette, les jambes, les mains) est une notion essentielle de l'équitation. L'emploi de la selle vise à faciliter la maîtrise de l'assiette, les étriers facilitent la maîtrise et donc l'indépendance des jambes.The independence of the helpers (the plate, the legs, the hands) is an essential notion of riding. The use of the saddle is to facilitate the control of the plate, stirrups facilitate the control and thus the independence of the legs.

Traditionnellement, pour assister la maîtrise de ses mains le cavalier dispose de deux méthodes : s'accrocher à la crinière du cheval ou s'accrocher à un collier passé autour de l'encolure du cheval. Ces deux méthodes empiriques sont contraignantes : elles améliorent la fixité mais interdisent l'indépendance nécessaire pour diriger le cheval.Traditionally, to assist the control of his hands the rider has two methods: hold on to the mane of the horse or cling to a collar passed around the neck of the horse. These two methods Empirical are restrictive: they improve fixity but prohibit the independence needed to steer the horse.

Le dispositif de l'invention comprend une poignée d'une longueur équivalente à la largeur de trois doigts (annulaire, majeur, index) reliée à un collier passé autour de l'encolure du cheval. Cette poignée a la rigidité nécessaire pour supporter une pression importante (en fonction de la force et du poids du cavalier) et la finesse nécessaire pour ne pas gêner l'emploi des rênes. Les doigts se referment sur cette poignée et les rênes. La poignée est au contact direct des doigts au niveau de la troisième phalange, les rênes viennent se superposer sur la poignée en passant comme le veut la pratique de l'équitation académique entre l'annulaire et le petit doigt et l'index et le pouce. La poignée est fixée au collier grâce à une première attache fixée sur la poignée entre l'annulaire et le majeur. Cette fixation permet l'utilisation de la poignée sans gêner l'emploi des rênes. Cette première attache est reliée à un élastique lui-même relié au collier via une deuxième attache réglable fixée sur le collier à mi-encolure. L'élastique permet une action en translation. La fixation à mi-encolure et la longueur des lanières et de l'élastique permettent une action latérale de la main. Cette fixation à mi-encolure peut être réglable de façon à s'adapter à la taille du cheval et du cavalier. Un système de deux clips est fixé sur le collier quelques centimètre sous le niveau du garrot pour permettre au cavalier de fixer les poignées. Ces clips maintiennent les poignées dans une telle position qu'il permet au cavalier de se saisir des poignées rapidement d'un geste simple. Un système de mousqueton avec attache rapide est cousu sur le collier environ trois centimètres sous les clips de fixation. Ce mousqueton permet de fixer rapidement et directement l'attache de la poignée au collier. En utilisant ce moyen de fixation le cavalier pourra utiliser les poignées solidarisées avec le collier. Les poignées peuvent comprendre des moyens de distinction correspondant aux fanions des abords des obstacles : rouge pour la poignée droite, blanc pour la poignée gauche. Le collier est réglable et peut être fixé à la sangle et à la selle pour assurer son maintien.The device of the invention comprises a handle of a length equivalent to the width of three fingers (annular, major, index) connected to a collar passed around the neck of the horse. This handle has the rigidity to withstand significant pressure (depending on the strength and weight of the rider) and the finesse necessary to not interfere with the use of reins. The fingers are closed on this handle and the reins. The handle is in direct contact with the fingers at the level of the third phalanx, the reins are superimposed on the handle in passing as is the practice of academic riding between the ring finger and the little finger and the index finger and the thumb . The handle is attached to the collar with a first clip attached to the handle between the ring finger and middle finger. This attachment allows the use of the handle without interfering with the use of the reins. This first attachment is connected to an elastic itself connected to the collar via a second adjustable fastener attached to the collar at mid-neck. The elastic allows an action in translation. The mid-neck attachment and the length of the straps and elastic allow lateral action of the hand. This mid-neck attachment can be adjustable to fit the size of the horse and rider. A system of two clips is attached to the collar a few centimeters below the level of the withers to allow the rider to attach the handles. These clips hold the handles in such a position that it allows the rider to grab the handles quickly with a simple gesture. A carabiner system with quick coupler is sewn on the collar about three centimeters below the clips. This carabiner allows to quickly and directly attach the handle attachment to the collar. Using this attachment means the rider can use the handles secured with the collar. The handles may include means of distinction corresponding to the flags around the obstacles: red for the right handle, white for the left handle. The collar is adjustable and can be attached to the strap and saddle for support.

En se référant à la figure 1 annexée - vue schématique - on va décrire les modes particuliers de réalisation :

  • La poignée (1) peut avoir une longueur équivalente à la largeur de trois doigts
  • La poignée (1) peut être réalisée en acier et recouverte d'une pièce de cuir
  • L'attache de la poignée (2) peut, grâce à un système de couture, être le prolongement de la pièce de cuir ayant servi au recouvrement de la poignée (1).
  • Cette attache (2) peut avoir une longueur de 3 cm
  • Un anneau peut être cousu à l'extrémité de l'attache de la poignée
  • L'élastique (3) peut être fixé à l'anneau de la poignée à l'aide d'un mousqueton
  • L'élastique (3) peut avoir une longueur de 6 cm
  • L'élastique (3) peut être muni à son autre extrémité d'un oeillet (4) qui permettra de faire passer la lanière de fixation au collier (5)
  • L'attache entre l'élastique et le collier (6) peut être une lanière en cuir (5) de 40 cm cousue sur le collier environ 20 cm sous le niveau du garrot, réglable grâce à l'oeillet de l'élastique (4) dans lequel elle passe et un système classique de boucle (7) cousue sur le collier
  • Des passants (8) peuvent être prévus sur le collier afin de canaliser le débordement de la lanière en cuir de réglage (5)
  • Deux supports de fixation par clip des poignées peuvent être cousus sur le collier 15 cm au-dessus de la fixation de la lanière de fixation (9).
  • Des mousquetons avec attache rapide (10) peuvent être cousus sur le collier 3 cm environ sous les supports de fixation par clip (9).
With reference to the appended FIG. 1 - schematic view - we will describe the particular embodiments:
  • The handle (1) can have a length equivalent to the width of three fingers
  • The handle (1) can be made of steel and covered with a piece of leather
  • The attachment of the handle (2) can, through a seam system, be an extension of the leather piece used to cover the handle (1).
  • This fastener (2) can have a length of 3 cm
  • A ring can be sewn at the end of the handle attachment
  • The elastic (3) can be attached to the ring of the handle with a carabiner
  • The elastic (3) can have a length of 6 cm
  • The elastic (3) can be provided at its other end with an eyelet (4) which will allow the fastening strap to pass to the collar (5)
  • The tie between the elastic and the collar (6) can be a leather strap (5) of 40 cm sewn on the collar about 20 cm below the level of the withers, adjustable thanks to the eyelet of the elastic (4 ) in which it passes and a conventional loop system (7) sewn on the collar
  • Passers (8) can be provided on the collar to channel the overflow of the leather strap (5)
  • Two clip holders for the handles can be sewn on the collar 15 cm above the fastening of the fastening strap (9).
  • Carabiners with quick couplers (10) can be sewn on the collar approximately 3 cm below the clip holders (9).

L'encombrement réduit de la poignée est tel qu'il permet l'utilisation des rênes sans gêne particulière. La résistance de cette poignée et de la liaison au collier permet au cavalier d'utiliser cette poignée pour maintenir sa position et garder les mains « en place » en toutes circonstances. L'utilisation d'un élastique permet au cavalier d'avoir une action sur la bouche de son cheval, action volontairement limitée grâce à la résistance de l'élastique.The reduced size of the handle is such that it allows the use of reins without particular discomfort. The resistance of this handle and collar link allows the rider to use this handle to maintain its position and keep the hands "in place" in all circumstances. The use of a elastic allows the rider to have an action on the mouth of his horse, deliberately limited action thanks to the resistance of the elastic.

Selon une variante non illustrée, les poignées peuvent être fixées à une bricole en lieu et place du collier.According to a variant not shown, the handles can be attached to a bricolage instead of the collar.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif la poignée aura une longueur de 4 cm, une largeur de 1 cm et une épaisseur de 0.5 cm. La lanière de cuir liée à la poignée aura une longueur de 3 cm, l'élastique une longueur de 6 cm et la lanière de cuir liée au collier une longueur variant de 2 à 20 cm suivant le réglage.By way of non-limiting example the handle will have a length of 4 cm, a width of 1 cm and a thickness of 0.5 cm. The leather strap attached to the handle will have a length of 3 cm, the elastic a length of 6 cm and the leather strap attached to the collar a length ranging from 2 to 20 cm depending on the setting.

Toutes les pratiques de l'équitation sont susceptibles de bénéficier de cette invention.All riding practices are likely to benefit from this invention.

Un réglage long du dispositif permettra d'assister le cavalier en position assis, qu'il soit un cavalier débutant ou confirmé.A long adjustment of the device will help the rider in sitting position, whether a beginner or confirmed rider.

Un réglage court permet d'assister un cavalier en position dite « en suspension », plus particulièrement lors de la pratique du saut d'obstacles.A short adjustment makes it possible to assist a rider in the so-called "suspended" position, more particularly during the practice of jumping.

L'utilisation des poignées fixées sur les attaches rapides du collier permettra au cavalier d'obtenir rapidement une utilisation des poignées proche de l'utilisation d'un collier classique avec le confort qu'apporte l'usage de la poignée.The use of the handles fixed on the quick fasteners of the collar will allow the rider to quickly obtain a use of the handles close to the use of a conventional collar with the comfort that brings the use of the handle.

Le dispositif permettra d'éviter les « fautes de mains » du cavalier confirmé, assistera le cavalier débutant dans sa recherche d'équilibre et préservera la bouche de son cheval.The device will prevent the "hands mistakes" of the confirmed rider, assist the novice rider in his search for balance and preserve the mouth of his horse.
