The invention relates to a riding saddle intended for being placed on the back of a horse, having at least one main mechanical connecting member, configured to engage with an auxiliary mechanical connecting member of a riding accessory and at least one electronic device. The riding saddle is characterized in that, as the auxiliary mechanical connecting member of the riding accessory comprises at least one auxiliary electrical connector, the main mechanical connecting member has at least one main electrical connector electrically connected to the electronic device by an electrical link, so as to ensure an electrical connection between the main electrical connector of the riding saddle and the auxiliary electrical connector of the riding accessory during the mechanical connection between the main mechanical connecting member of the riding saddle and the auxiliary mechanical connecting member of the riding accessory.

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.

A frame for equestrian saddle including a frame body provided with at least one opening shaped corresponding at least partially to at least one of an inguinal and/or ischiatic and/or sacrococcygeal region of the user, wherein the opening is adapted to receive a respective shock-absorbing insert. Specifically, the shock-absorbing insert includes a container provided with one or more side walls and with a bottom wall joined to each other defining an open base opposite to the bottom wall, and at least one damping element adapted to be received in the container on the bottom wall, wherein the bottom wall is made with a first elastically deformable material configured to dampen impacts and/or vibrations, and the damping element is made at least partially with a second at least partially elastically deformable material configured to dampen impacts and/or vibrations.

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 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.

A moveable saddle rack that may be laterally translatable across a trailer, vertically translatable to facilitate user access to an upper saddle seat of the saddle rack, or both laterally translatable and vertically translatable.

A force or pressure sensing device comprises one or more magnets resiliently held spaced from one or more magnetic sensors such that pressure on the device displaces the magnets relative to the magnetic field sensors. The device may be incorporated into an insole of a shoe, or integrated into a shoe, or integrated into a seat, cushion, mattress or saddle. The device includes one or more magnetic focussing elements on the opposite side of the magnetic field sensor from the magnets to focus and condition the magnetic field passing through the sensor. The magnetic focussing elements may be permanent magnets or magnetic materials having a high magnetic permeability such as mu-metals. Additional magnetic focussing elements may be placed adjacent to the magnets. Plural magnetic field sensors can be arranged in a symmetrical arrangement in a plane below the one or more magnets so that shear forces applied to the device causes lateral relative displacement of the magnet and magnetic field sensors changing the magnetic field sensed by the magnetic field sensors. The device can also include a motion detector such as an accelerometer which may be integral with the magnetic field sensor.
