Abstract: A saddle sling for supporting a saddle against a vertical support such as a fence post includes a hook (e.g., C-, V-, U- or L-shaped hook) configured to engage a cantle or pommel edge of a saddle (i.e., an equestrian saddle). The hook defines a gap into which the engaged edge of the saddle is received. A tether loop extends from the hook. The loop is sufficiently long to extend from the engaged edge past the opposite edge and over a vertical support, such as a fence post or picket. The loop may be fixed, adjustable or retractable. The saddle is thus held between the hook and the fence or fence post.

Abstract: A boat fender system is configured for suspending a boat fender from a conventional rod holder. The system includes a handle configured for engagement by a rod holder. A boat fender is coupled to the handle by a tether. The tether has a length to allow the fender to hang from the handle to a desired location. The length may be fixed or adjustable. A compartment in the handle stores excess and unused portions of the tether.
