Abstract
A riding saddle is provided which distributes the weight of the horse and rider over a large surface area on the back of a horse to prevent bruising and soreing of the horse's back and to provide a shock absorbing quality as the result of their resilient, spring-like material. The saddle includes a tree frame having first and second, spaced-apart, generally parallel bars; first and second flexible skirts each having a surface area respectively greater than the surface area of lower face of the side bars; and fasteners coupling the skirts with the lower face of their corresponding bars. The skirts have flexing portions and flex to conform to the contours of the back of the horse on which the saddle is placed and are biased to return to the unflexed position when the saddle is removed from the horse. Preferably, the skirts include a layer of polycarbonate resin or plastic, a layer of foam rubber, and a layer of fleece-like material.
