Abstract: A miniaturized toy saddle constructed and configured to be adapted for mounting on the back of an adult person positioned on his hands and knees. The saddle is constructed to make it possible for a child to ride in the saddle when it is mounted on the adult's back. The saddle has a unique contour and configuration on its underside, including padding. The contour and configuration provide a substantially flat part to rest on the person's back with padding between the underside of the saddle and the person's back and additional padding of greater lateral extent extending downwardly and on the inside of lower portions of the saddle and contoured to comfortably be engaged by side parts of the adult person's back.
