An improved method of manufacturing an equine protective covering includes applying a stamp comprising a profiled shape with a predetermined temperature and pressure to the interior side of the cushion assembly such that concurrently: the first synthetic fabric layer and the second neoprene layer are permanently bonded; the second neoprene layer is plastically deformed such that the profiled shape of the stamp is permanently transferred to the second neoprene layer; and the plastic deformation of the second neoprene layer is such that the perforations remain open.

A back cinch for providing improved horseback riding safety is disclosed. The back cinch includes an elongated, non-linear body, a pair of latigo buckle assemblies, a girth buckle assembly, and a connecting strap; wherein the body wraps around the girth of a horse; wherein the pair of latigo buckle assemblies removably engage with a side of a saddle.

A saddle fastening device includes a U-shaped buckle body having a reinforced rod; an abutment surface defined by one side surface of the body and is generally flat; a main tongue unit connected pivotally to the body so as to define a clearance therebetween; a spring sleeved around the tongue unit; and a trust rod connected pivotally to open end of the body, wherein, the tongue unit, the reinforced rod and the trust rod cooperatively define a slide space thereamong such that the clearance determines a size of the slide space. When a saddle is mounted on the horseback by the saddle fastening device, the abutment surface of the body causes no discomfort to a horse body.

A saddle for horse riding including a supporting frame associated with at least one covering body adapted to define a seat for the rider, the supporting frame having a front region, with the gullet iron, and a rear region, with at least one rear cantle. The having, laterally with respect to the seat, respective flaps, and at least two billets arranged on opposite sides with respect to the seat and are configured to fix the saddle to a girth, wherein each flap is associated, at a surface intended during use to be directed toward the horse, with a sheet-like element, an engagement body being accommodated between each flap and the corresponding sheet-like element and defining seats that are selectively engaged by a respective billet.

A system for horseback riding comprising an inverse stirrup which allows a horseback rider to use the top of the rider's foot to resist upward or transverse forces so as to maintain the rider's position on the horse. The inverse stirrup is attached to the horse by a circumferential or semi-circumferential strap passing beneath the horse such as the girth strap, or directly to the saddle, such that the system resists upward displacement of the inverse stirrup.
