TSHOMAS G. PRETTYMAN has lately PATENT
l. and is now manufacturing, . Spring Saddle mud
superior to any that have hitherto been offered to d.
public. This improvement consists in the suspense
Of the whole seat by two C springs, similar to a 81
spring, which being screwed on the back part ofa:
cantle ofthe saddle, receives an iron bar, forming lie
sweep of the c%antle; thus preserving it from receiving
any injury by a horse rolling in the saddle; and MAXIM
the saddle tree more firm than it would otherwise b.
which cannot fail to give ease to both horse and ride
calculated to raise the yalice or portmanteau, and ts
it entirely clear of the horses back. This can be
on or removed in q moment.
Inordert to prove to the public the superiority ofths
Saddles, he will give a few extracts Of letters fs
those who have them in use-among whom is the ha
Presidentof the United States:
