vUlHOMAS G. PRETTYMAN has lately Patented,
Il and is now Manufacturing, Spring Saddle, much
superior to any that have hitherto been offered 70 !e
public This improvement consists in the suspension
of the whole seat by two springs, similar to gig
spring. which being screwed the back part OF the
cantle ofthe saddle, receives an iron BAR forming the
sweep of the camille; thus preserving 1t from receiving
any injury by horse rolling in the saddle; and making
the saddle tree more firm than it would otherwise be:
which cannot fail GRE to both horse and rider
frame also enters of the cantle the saddle,
calculated raise the valice portnanteau, and keep
it entirely clear of the horses back This can be put
on or removed in moment.
