We, WILLIAM JENKINSON, JOSEPH WEBB SQUIER and GEORGE EDWIN
JENKINSON, all of 44 London Wall, in the City of London, Saddlers and Harness
Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
Our invention relates to improvements in riding saddles the object of our said
improvements being to simplify the construction, afford a perfect ventilation and at
the same time produce a comfortable saddle which will be light and durable and
may be produced and sold at a low cost.
Our improved saddle is constructed and comprises the following details and
combination of parts from which it will be seen that the construction of the saddle
is greatly simplified and that there will be less wear of the several parts.
The seat of our improved saddle is suspended being rivetted at the front and back
to a head and cantle piece which is drawn over the edge and is secured to the
under side of the framing of the saddle in the usual manner. The seat is further
supported by webbing underneath the same extending from the cantle to the head
piece. The side panels are fixed directly on to the tree and are preferably made
deeper. The centre of the tree is left entirely open so that a clear space is left for
ventilation. The flaps of the saddle are formed with hollow blocks the leather
being moulded or shaped in any well known manner and the padding being entirely
dispensed with. The saddle panels are preferably lined with leather and quilted
making them more durable for rough wear. The usual stirrup leathers and other
fittings may be attached to the saddle in the ordinary and well known manner.
