ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to improvements in or relating to saddle cloths, pads or numnahs, particularly for horses. In one aspect, there is described a saddlecloth comprising a sheet material having a longitudinal spine (81) defining left and right saddlecloth sections; wherein each section includes at least one pocket (84, 85) housing at least one cushioning element comprising a bladder (30,31) and resilient element (38), wherein the bladder (30) is formed of a substantially inelastic material and is adapted for inflation and deflation with air or other fluid medium. Preferably, the pocket (84) in each section is a longitudinally elongate and houses two or more bladders (30, 31) dimensioned so as to overlap within the pocket (84) such that, when inflated, the bladders (30, 31) present a substantially uniform thickness. A modification for a saddlecloth for a side-saddle is also described. In a second aspect there is also described a saddlecloth locking element or plate (90) comprising a central portion including securing means (91) for securing to a saddlecloth and comprising at least two opposing wings or arms extending radially therefrom from the central portion. There is also described a method of securing a saddlecloth to the underside of a saddle using said locking element or plate (90).
