PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Saddles.
JAMES FRASER, High Street Dingwall Saddler & Harness Maker do hereby-
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The invention consists in making a saddle which serves the purpose of both deer
saddle and riding saddle. This is effected by having the tree shorter than in an
ordinary cavalry saddle and of special form, the seat and skirts made of solid
leather in one piece riveted to the tree, the flaps wide enough to reach in a line
with the cantle; and on the cantle & pomel are fastened adjustable rings which.
Berve for deer saddle purposes. The breechin and breast plate rings are fastened.
to the flaps as is also a belly band. Three girth straps are secured to the tree on
each side more widely apart than in the case of riding saddles. This secures a
saddle which can be used either for a riding saddle or deer saddle, and it is the
invention of a combination saddle for these purposes that I claim protection for.
Tree is straight in the head or pomel, round in cantle, and both project higher
than in an ordinary riding saddle tree, the bars are plated to carry heavy weight
and project in front of head and behind cantle.
Dated this Twelfth day of October 1891.
