Re: [RC] [RC] fun stuff found while searching patents - Laurie Durgin





I have seen it used in handicapped riders, children. They have "velcro" thigh bands on and there is 'velcro ' on the seat of the saddle. Course they had one person leading , the thrapist on one side and another "walker" on the other side. Laurie and Rascal

> Abstract
> A safety device for use by a horseback rider. Industrial strength hook and
> loop fasteners secure the rider to the saddle. Loop material is affixed to
> the saddle and complementary hook material is secured to the rider. By
> engaging the hook material with the loop material, a sufficient binding
> force is established to prevent the rider from being thrown from the
horse.
> A simple outward leg movement is sufficient to peel away the hook from the
> loop material. The invention may be used in conjunction with either the
> English equestrian style saddle, the western style saddle or the jockey
> saddle. Each includes a safety girth that attaches to the saddle or around
> the saddle and which contains a segment of loop type fastening material. A
> matching segment of hook type fastening material is fastened either to the
> legs or to the boots of the rider.

> You can look up the pictures. Basically it's a strap that goes around the
> horse with two straps going off to the side that go around your leg.
