20110078984 | Saddle Pad Facilitating Freedom of Motion of Horse's Shoulders - An improved saddle pad placed between the saddle and a horse that facilitates unrestricted movement of the horse's forelimbs when the horse is in motion. The improved pad has an underside that demonstrates elevated aspects or voids that correspond to and overlay the horse's shoulder blade area. According to a preferred embodiment, the improved saddle pad has a further elevated aspect running from front to back down the center of said pad that overlays and relieves pressure to the horse's spine. The improved saddle pad may be comprised of a top and bottom layer with the elevated aspects comprising cutouts and channels formed in the bottom layer. The top layer of the saddle pad is fabricated from a breathable fabric such as felt, and the bottom layer, which may be lined on its underside with breathable fabric for comfort to the horse, is fabricated from a shock absorbent material. The improved saddle pad cushions the weight and pressure of the saddle and rider on the horse's back while at the same time facilitating the unrestricted full range of motion of the horse's forelimbs, shoulder blades and related musculature when the horse is in motion as if the horse where unsaddled or being ridden bareback. | 04-07-2011 |
20110185688 | HORSE BLANKET ALLOWING FREER MOVEMENT OF A HORSE IN USE - A horse blanket allowing freer movement of a horse in use, comprises a generally rectangular piece of material with a front edge, a rear edge and two side edges. The blanket is split, from each side edge to the centre line thereof, into a front section and a rear section, the front and rear sections being connected together at the centre line of the blanket to define a flexible joint therebetween, about which the blanket articulates. The flexible joint extends to a position to each side of the centre line. The flexible joint is positioned, in use, at a location to the rear of the horse's withers where the pommel of a saddle would be properly positioned. The articulation of the blanket about the flexible joint facilitates up and down movements, side to side movements, as well as twisting movements of the front section relative to the rear section in response to movements of the horse. | 08-04-2011 |
20110203233 | Saddle Pad Pillow - All English and Western horse saddles require the use of a saddle pad (sometimes called a saddle blanket). This pad sits underneath the saddle to protect the horse from rubbing. Saddle pads are relatively inexpensive and often viewed as fashion accessories so are discarded with regularity. Saddle pad pillows repurpose saddle pads by doubling and sewing the pad, filling with polyfil or kapok, and adding patching or embroidery. The result is a large decorative pillow with a history. Saddle pad pillows provide reuse/repurpose of an item with no other utility and sometimes provide an event or horse keepsake. The pillows will typically be released with information on the previous owner (the horse) so that they can be used as keepsakes. | 08-25-2011 |
20120304601 | SELF-ADJUSTING SADDLE PAD - The present application relates generally to an apparatus to be used as a saddle pad for laying on the back of a riding or pack animal to reduce pressure point, irritation, and injury. More particularly, the present application relates to a saddle pad that has self-adjusting features that can compensate for wide variances in the contours of an animal's back as well as various saddle configurations, and thus, can reduce the discomfort an animal that is associated with a saddle or weight load. The self-adjusting features are provided by at least one protective packet configured to be removably placed within at least one interior pocket of the saddle pad. | 12-06-2012 |
20130014477 | Saddle PadAANM Wollowick; Janet AmyAACI HollywoodAAST FLAACO USAAGP Wollowick; Janet Amy Hollywood FL US - A saddle pad is described for placement on a horse or other riding animal's back.

20130227920 | Saddle pad eliminating the area of highest pressure from saddle tree bars with circle cut out areas lined with silicon rubber. - An improved saddle pad placed between the saddle and a horse that suspends the areas of highest pressure points from saddle bars. The improved saddle pad redistributes surrounding pressure evenly 360 degrees, not allowing highest pressure point areas from saddle bars to touch the shoulders of the horse. In a preferred embodiment, a circle cutout is reinforced with silicone rubber to prevent wear and redistributes surrounding pressure and allows the saddle bars to settle within circle cut out area pad closer to the horse reducing roll from side to side. | 09-05-2013 |

20150007528 | Strap system for annimals to enable positioning of pouch holding cooling or warming medium in a targeted area of the chest - It is sometimes desirable to apply and hold medication, ice or warming medium against the chest wall of an animal (i.e. an ice pack). Due of the anatomy of animals, this is difficult to do remotely without holding the medium against the chest wall with a hand or adhesive tape. My invention provides a way to attach a pouch or pack to the device and then, when the device is correctly placed over the animal's head and secured at the girth, firmly, but gently holds the medium in the targeted place on the chest wall of the animal. | 01-08-2015 |
