A comfort bridge for use with an English saddle. The bridge is formed of sole bend leather of a particular size, shape, and thickness positioned between a tree point and the back of the saddle tree. The bridge is placed on each side of the saddle and either placed within a panel or attached thereto. The bridge increases the structural support area by carrying the rider's weight over a larger area under the rider's leg. Each bridge is tapered around the edges to provide a smooth connection to the saddle panel, and provide for the comfort of the rider by avoiding the large material stuffing mass that has been traditionally used in the saddle panels of early designs.

A frame for an equestrian saddle includes a frame body provided with at least one opening shaped corresponding at least partially to an inguinal and/or ischiatic and/or sacrococcygeal region of a user. Each opening contains a shock-absorbing insert. The shock-absorbing insert includes a container provided with (i) one or more side walls and (ii) a bottom wall joined to the one or more side walls. The container defines an open top opposite to the bottom wall. At least one damping element is in the container on the bottom wall. The bottom wall is made with a first elastically deformable material, and the at least one damping element is made at least partially with a second at least partially elastically deformable material.

A saddle horn roping tape to assist a roper during dallying may include an elongate tape body; a slit opening extending through the elongate tape body proximate to a first end thereof; a plurality of raised ribs extending upward from a top surface of the elongate tape body proximate to a second end thereof; and an adhesive applied to a bottom surface of the second end of the elongate tape body. Each of the plurality of raised ribs may be positioned at an angle with respect to a length of the elongate tape body, wherein each of the plurality of raised ribs may have a rounded cross-section.

An apparatus for insertion into a pocket of a saddle pad of an Equine English saddle. The apparatus includes a plurality of flexible polycarbonate layers encapsulated within a protective polyvinyl chloride skin. The apparatus is positioned within the pocket, on each side of the saddle pad, preventing interference between the shoulder blades of the Equine and the points of the saddle tree during natural movement of the Equine.

A horse riding saddle includes a saddle tree disposed in a cover, the saddle tree including an arch that forms a pommel. The saddle includes at least one sensor positioned in the saddle, close to the pommel, and connected to the saddle tree by a thorough connection under the arch of the saddle-tree, in a longitudinal and vertical plane (PMV) of the saddle-tree.
