In some examples, a saddle tree having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end and a distal end, the saddle tree includes a proximal-most segment, a distal-most segment, at least one intermediate segment disposed between the proximal-most segment and the distal-most segment, a first articulation mechanism coupling each of the at least one intermediate segment to proximal ones, and a second articulation mechanism coupling each of the at least one intermediate segment to distal ones.

A kit-of-parts configured to adjust a fit of an English saddle includes a base and a shim having a predetermined thickness. The shim is releasably connected to the base to allow selective replacement thereof, and the base is affixable to, or integrated with, one of left and right tree points of a rigid saddle tree. The releasable connection includes a guide for providing a reproducible and predetermined locking engagement of the shim relative to the base to guarantee that the shims are arrangeable on the same position and orientation relative to the respective one of the left or right tree points. A saddle including such a kit-of-parts and corresponding method for adjusting the fit of a saddle.

The present invention relates to improvements in the area of a saddle's seat directly under the rider's seat bones and the ability to adjust the seat's balance laterally for asymmetry in the rider's pelvis and therefore balance. We describe an anatomically adjustable saddle tree and seat for the ridden horse. We describe a saddle comprising a saddle tree having a lateral slot towards a rear edge thereof, a seat supported by the saddle tree, and a correction member between the saddle tree and the seat. We also describe a correction member for a saddle seat. The correction member has the form of a paddle, having a generally egg-shaped or ovoid head and a handle portion. The handle portion may be adjustable for length.

A saddle for horse riding includes a supporting frame associated with at least one covering body designed to define a seat for a user, the supporting frame having a front region, which has a pommel, and a rear region, which has a cantle. The supporting frame is provided with connecting elements configured for connection between the front region and the rear region that are adapted to allow a rotation about an oscillation axis, which in use is substantially vertical, of the rear region with respect to the front region.

Riding saddle having a two-stage, additionally elastic girth for fastening on a horse. Due to the two-stage, preferably elastic girthing, the riding saddle has the advantage of a firm fit on the horse's back. It has shown that due to the girthing according to the invention, an otherwise identical saddle slides forward significantly less on the horse during riding.

An adjustable saddle is disclosed. The adjustable saddle includes a saddle cover. The saddle cover further includes one or more fasteners, a first side, and a second side. The saddle cover also includes one or more blocks. The one or more blocks are configured to be removably couplable to the saddle cover via the one or more fasteners, wherein the one or more blocks form a modular perimeter around a rider, wherein the modular perimeter is configured to stabilize the rider. The adjustable saddle further includes a saddle tree and a saddle pad.
