Western Saddle

We have bought a saddle for Claire which should help her riding. It is of western style and has extra support at the pommel which evidently should help Claire keep her balance on the horse. This means of course that we need somewhere to store it and carry it around in the car and at the pony club.

I came up with this which uses my existing folding trolley, a folding basket, a shelf bracket and a few bits of wood, one of which has been shaped to follow the contours of the underside of he saddle.


 As the trolley is of the folding variety the wide board that the bracket is attached to prevents the trolley handles folding forward under the weight of the saddle. The width of the board prevents any lateral twist once the saddle is in place.
                           
Claire should be able to wheel it around the pony club club as required.


  And it fits in the boot of the car with ease.
