[0002] With the increasing popularity of equestrian sports, saddle pads, as an indispensable piece of equipment during riding, directly impact the riding experience with their comfort and fit. To enhance the comfort of both rider and horse, a growing number of studies and innovations have led to various new saddle pad designs. These innovations not only focus on the comfort of the saddle pad itself but also emphasize improvements in breathability, softness, and anti-slip properties. However, traditional saddle pad designs often suffer from insufficient comfort, poor breathability, and inadequate fit to the horse's back. These factors all affect the riding experience. Therefore, improving the overall performance of saddle pads through material selection and structural design has become crucial for the industry's development.
[0003] Currently, most saddle pads on the market use traditional materials such as cloth, sponge, rubber or foam, which can provide a certain level of comfort. In order to enhance breathability, some saddle pads are designed with mesh fabric or ventilation holes to prevent sweat from accumulating.
[0004] Existing saddle pad designs generally have a prominent problem: the saddle pad is difficult to fit snugly against the horse's back, causing the pad to shift during use. This not only affects the rider's comfort but also the safety of riding. Especially during long or high-intensity riding, the saddle pad's failure to fit snugly against the horse's back can lead to uneven friction, which in turn increases riding discomfort. Therefore, a comfort-type saddle pad is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a comfortable saddle pad, which aims to improve the problem that existing saddle pads are difficult to fully fit the horse's back, resulting in pad displacement during use.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 One embodiment of this utility model is a comfort saddle pad, which includes a pad 1, an anti-slip strip 2 on the top of the pad 1, and a composite material component on the top of the pad 1.
[0031] The composite material component includes a bamboo fiber fabric layer 4, a latex layer 5, and a natural rubber layer 6. The natural rubber layer 6 is bonded to the pad 1, and the latex layer 5 is bonded to the natural rubber layer 6. The bamboo fiber fabric layer 4, with its excellent breathability and softness, effectively enhances the comfort of the saddle pad. Simultaneously, the flexibility of the natural rubber layer 6 and the elasticity of the latex layer 5 provide better cushioning. Memory foam 3 is installed at the bottom of the pad 1. Memory foam 3, with its self-adaptive properties, can closely conform to the rider's weight and movement, further improving comfort and stability. A woven strap 10 is fixedly connected inside the memory foam 3. The woven strap 10, through its connection with the memory foam 3, enhances the overall structural stability of the saddle pad, preventing deformation or loosening after prolonged use. A shock-absorbing bonding component is installed inside the woven strap 10. This component disperses and absorbs vibrations, reducing the impact force generated during riding and improving riding comfort and fit.
[0032] ReferenceFigure 1 - Figure 4 The cushioning assembly includes a gel layer 11 and cushioning balls 12. The gel layer 11 is disposed inside the woven belt 10, and the cushioning balls 12 are disposed inside the gel layer 11. The gel layer 11, through its excellent elasticity and deformability, effectively absorbs and disperses vibrations, reducing the impact during riding and improving comfort. The outer wall of the cushioning balls 12 is in contact with the inner wall of the gel layer 11, and the cushioning balls 12 are distributed in a ring array inside the gel layer 11. Through this ring distribution design, the cushioning balls 12 can provide a uniform cushioning effect during riding, reducing local pressure and further improving vibration absorption. The natural rubber layer 6 has trapezoidal grooves 8 inside, which are distributed in a linear array inside the natural rubber layer 6. This design enhances the elasticity and flexibility of the natural rubber layer 6, making the saddle pad more comfortable when in contact with the horse's back. The cushioning effect is stable, reducing discomfort caused by friction. Circular grooves 9 are formed inside the latex layer 5, arranged in a linear array. These grooves enhance the breathability and comfort of the latex layer 5, while also improving its softness, resulting in a more balanced overall cushioning effect. Square grooves 7 are formed inside the bamboo fiber fabric layer 4, arranged vertically. This design not only enhances the breathability of the bamboo fiber fabric but also makes it more conform to the user's body shape, improving comfort and fit. Braided straps 10 are interwoven inside the gel layer 11. This interwoven design further enhances the stability of the cushioning components, ensuring that the cushioning ball 12 and gel layer 11 maintain a good working effect during riding.
[0033] Working principle: The bamboo fiber fabric layer 4, latex layer 5, and natural rubber layer 6 are connected on the upper part of the saddle pad through a knitting method. The bamboo fiber fabric layer 4 is soft and has good toughness, which further enhances the cushioning performance of the saddle pad. The latex layer 5 has high elasticity and can conform well to the curves of the human body, providing comfortable support and cushioning. The natural rubber layer 6 has natural antibacterial properties, good breathability, and moisture absorption. At the same time, the anti-slip strip 2 set on the top of the bamboo fiber fabric layer 4 provides an anti-slip effect. The comfort of the saddle pad is improved through the composite layer structure. Meanwhile, memory foam 3 is also knitted into the pad fabric at the bottom of the saddle pad. At the bottom of 1, the memory foam 3 contains a woven band 10. The gel layer 11 and the cushioning ball 12 are placed inside the memory foam 3 through the woven band 10. The memory foam 3 has slow rebound characteristics and can slowly deform and adapt to the shape and pressure distribution of the horse's back within a certain period of time to form a shape that fits the contour of the horse's back. When the pressure is removed, it can slowly return to its original shape. The gel layer 11 is soft and has good fluidity and plasticity, which can quickly adapt to the irregular shape of the horse's back and fill the small gaps between the saddle and the horse's back to achieve a close fit. Through the components of the lower structure of the saddle pad, the comfort of the saddle pad is further improved.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
