A safety device for equestrian sports uses at least one hook-and-loop fastener for connecting ends of the control lines for guiding a horse such that the ends of the control lines will separate and thereby stop a fallen rider or driver from being dragged by a horse or a horse drawn vehicle.

A band-like element (10), namely for forming a bridle headband (20), or for forming a decorative band (40) for belts, bracelets or necklaces, which is attachable on the upper side and in the respective longitudinal direction, is designed for simple and secure attaching so as to have versatile usability and comparatively low supply costs such that on both ends (12, 112) of the band-like element (10) a respective magnetic element (14, 114) is arranged for releasably attaching the respective end (12, 112) to a second magnetic element (32). A bridle headband (20), especially a horse bridle headband, or a decorative band (40) for base bodies (50), especially belts, bracelets or collars, comprises such band-like element (10), as well as two counterparts (22, 122, 222, 322), each having a second magnetic element (32), wherein one end (12, 112) of the respective band-like element (10) is releasably attachable or is attached to or in a counterpart (22, 122, 222, 322).

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a livestock feeding device configured to removably attach to a livestock animal (e.g., an equine). The livestock feeding device includes a feed receptacle (e.g., a bucket) configured to retain at least one animal feed product, a lid, and an attachment device. In embodiments, the lid can be configured to extend at least partially around a rim of the feed receptacle, and can comprise at least one flexible flap configured to reduce spillage of the animal feed product retained within the feed receptacle. The feed receptacle and/or the lid can be coupled to the attachment device. In embodiments, the attachment device includes at least one strap configured for attaching the feed receptacle to the livestock animal. In some embodiments, the feeding device further includes one or more ears configured for removably attaching the attachment device to at lid and/or the feed receptacle.

A personal identification tag described herein comprising a lightweight durable vinyl label that is an essential identification tool for all animal owners, sports equipment users, and travelers with luggage, in addition to many other identification uses. With your emergency information readily accessible, the identification tag is available in various configurations for securing the label to your existing halter, bridle, breast collar or saddle with its easy-to-use clip-on snap or sewn onto a braided nylon strap. In the case of manestay, the product with emergency contact form attaches directly to the equine's mane or tail hair. It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved identification tool for use with luggage/backpacks, sports equipment, personal properties in additional to a specialty emergency contact form for adults and children. The emergency contact form organizes all of the important contact information in one convenient place and is easily accessible in case of trauma, theft, weather emergency, missing or loose pets. Various modifications may be made to the above described embodiment without departing from the scope of the invention.

This document discloses a connector for use in equestrian equipment, such as bridles, reins, saddles and the like. The connector comprises an outer loop, and an inner loop, which is arranged inside the outer loop. The inner loop is more resilient than the outer loop, such that a connecting member received in the inner loop is resiliently moveable and limited by the outer loop. The inner loop is formed by an inner loop forming strap comprising a resilient portion which is formed of an elastically resilient material and a non-elastic portion which is formed of an essentially non-resilient material. The resilient and non-resilient portions are juxtaposed in the longitudinal direction of the inner loop forming strap. The part of the inner loop forming strap contacting the connecting member is formed by the non-resilient portion.

A connector assembly used with split reins and configured to directly attach with the split reins. The connector assembly includes first and second connecting members, each of the connecting members include a pair of spaced end bars and a center bar that define a first and second spacing, and a pair of side bars having a semi-U shaped configuration. A raised member upwardly extends from a top side of the center bar, and a fastener is attached to a lower side of the center bar. One connecting member having a male fastener half, and one connecting member having a female fastener half, such that the rider releasably attaches one connecting member on the first rein to the one connecting member on the second rein by attaching the male and female fastener halves.
