ABSTRACT:
An equestrian saddle is made up of a saddle tree on which webbing is stretched between the cantle and head, and between the left and right frame members to provide a spring-like seat base. A seat cushion formed of a silicone dielectric gel is disposed on the seat base and is covered with a layer of muslin cloth and a pigskin or calfskin seat cover. Panels disposed beneath the saddle tree can also incorporate cushions of silicone dielectric gel. The gel material has a high energy absorbency to absorb shock and bounce of the rider on the saddle, and resilient displaceability under both vertical and lateral forces to distribute the rider's sitting weight evenly over the contact area of the saddle and avoid pressure concentrations within the contact area.
