ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a new and improved handgrip and stirrup support device which serves as a substitute for a conventional saddle while mounting and riding horses bareback. The device is comprised of a wishbone or inverted V-shaped member having two semi-flexible, downwardly extending side members joined near their upper ends by a semi-circular union which also functions as a handgrip. The downwardly extending side members are angled away from each other in such a way that the device rests comfortably over the withers of the horse, and to these side members are attached stirrup straps for supporting stirrups, a girth strap, and a girth buckle strap, for supporting a grith buckle. The stirrups, the girth buckle, and the wishbone member itself are each made in the preferred embodiment from material comprised of plastic such as ABS/PC plastic. The stirrup straps, the girth strap, and the girth buckle strap, are each made of a webbed material such as nylon in the preferred embodiment. Among the advantages of the new and improved device are its very light weight, its highly economical cost, and the comfort, stability and security it provides to the rider.
