Abstract: The invention is directed to a piece (2) for a saddletree (1) of mat-like general shape conformed to have both a first overall concavity in a first direction of a longitudinal plane of symmetry and a second overall concavity in a second direction of a transverse plane, delimited by an exterior free edge (14) including a pommel portion, a cantle portion and two longitudinal portions, the exterior free edge being adapted to cooperate with a complementary interior free edge of the saddletree, the mat including a plurality of individual portions at least partly separate, placed in the vicinity of each other so that each individual portion can absorb forces and be deformed in bending or in torsion at least partly independently of the other individual portions, the piece being provided with elements for associating it with the saddletree.

Abstract: A saddletree (2) intended for producing a saddle, notably for horses, which has at least one single-piece part (13) forming a pommel (14), a cantle (15), a base (16) and a support for constituent parts of the saddle, this single-piece part being produced from materials, such as composite materials, chosen for their suitability for being shaped to the required shape for the saddletree, for conferring on the saddletree the necessary qualities of strength and elasticity and for allowing the incorporation in the saddletree of members (21) for the removable positioning and fixing of other constituent parts of the saddle, in order to adapt the saddle to the requirements expressed.

Abstract: A horse saddle, particularly for playing polo, comprising at least one transverse fastening through-hole (16) fully built into the saddle under the outer top surface (18) of the seat (7) for guiding and vertically supporting at least one girth or overgirth fed through said hole.
