There is an inner strap member comprising a pair of centrally overlapping straps having provision for attaching outer ends thereof to the surface of the riding device and provision for adjustably fastening inner ends thereof together. There is also an outer padded sheath for covering the inner strap member between the outer ends. The padded sheath comprises a generally rectangular piece of a fabric-covered foam material having provision on facing opposite edges extending between facing opposite ends for releasably fastening the facing opposite edges together. The padded sheath further has provision for releasably fastening the sheath to the inner strap member. The preferred method for adjustably fastening the inner ends of the strap member together comprises a flexible, non-stretching strap carried by one of the centrally overlapping straps and gripping apparatus carried by the other of the centrally overlapping straps for adjustably gripping the flexible, non-stretching strap in infinite increments. The preferred gripping apparatus is a buckle through which the non-stretching strap is threaded through and back upon itself. The preferred method for releasably fastening the facing opposite edges of the outer padded sheath together comprises one-half of a zipper fastened along one of the facing opposite edges and the mating one-half of a zipper fastened along the other of the facing opposite edges.
