Abstract
This invention relates to a saddle support device to compensate for the variations between the compound curved surfaces of animal backs and the corresponding compound curved surfaces of saddles. This invention includes a method of manufacturing that employs a measurement device with transverse linkages for defining the compound curved surface of the animal's back, that can have an additional adjustable form jig mechanism attached to create a fair curve between the transverse linkages, so that a moldable plastic can be draped over the adjustable form jig, to create a compound curved saddle support device. Employing the preferred method of manufacturing, a semi-rigid saddle support device comprising a two distinct panel structure with a single alignment arch can be made that will fit over the animal's back, to protect the loaded animal from the higher pressures caused by the variations in the saddle construction.
