HORSE-RIDING REIN

Abstract

 The invention relates to a horse-riding rein folded in two sections (3A) (3B), capable of acting as a fixed or sliding rein by incorporating a blocking ring (1) that relates both sections, anchored in the first section (3A) at a point close to the passage of the rein through the ring (4) of the horse's bit, and being crossed by the second section (3B) that returns from the ring (4) to the hand (M) of the rider. When the horse keeps its head in front of the vertical, the two sections (3A) and (3B) of the rein are tense, with the blocking ring (1) distanced from the ring (4), acting as a sliding rein, exerting force and tension on the equine's mouth with a pulley effect. When the horse picks up its head approaching it with the vertical, the ring (4) approaches the blocking ring (1) that acts as a stop, canceling the tension of the first or section (3A) of the rein, while the second section (3B) remains in tension, acting the reins as fixed reins.

Description

Object of the invention

[0001] The invention presented refers to a horse-riding rein that, due to their conformation characteristics, significantly improve the use of reins existing in the market and in the state of the art.

[0002] Specifically, this innovation refers to a rein that incorporates elements that allow its use as a fixed rein or as a sliding rein according to the relative position of the horse's head with respect to the rider's hands, which means better communication between the horse and rider and better control of the animal, while avoiding defensive movements and postures that the horse can perform with the head. Likewise, with the new rein, the horse receives a much clearer indication of lateral action by the rider's hand.

Sector of the art

[0003] This invention is embedded in the sector that corresponds to the manufacture and marketing of saddles and devices used with those saddles, in particular harnessing devices to tie, flange, rig, tame or soothe horses or other draft animals.

State of the art

[0004] One of the fundamental elements in the riding of the equines are the reins, that is, the strap that the rider holds and uses to communicate with the horse, to indicate which movement he must execute, in which direction he must move and control his speed and behavior. The reins are used in duplicate, one on each side of the neck of the animal, subject to the mouth (fillet / bite), so that the rider, through these reins, always maintains contact with the horse's mouth, part of high sensitivity, which facilitates its control.

[0005] There are different types of reins depending on specific uses, for example the tying reins, fastened in a part of the saddle or on the webbing, or the long reins, which are attached at the sides and are used by the rider to direct the horse from the ground, that is, without being mounted on the animal. And also the double reins that are used with the double flanges or with the horse's bit Pelham, in which the rider carries four reins simultaneously in his hands.

[0006] Some of the types of auxiliary reins are those known as sliding reins, also called "German reins", which are specified in a strap that is tied to the horse's girt, preferably in its lower part, under the thorax of the horse and passing through the fillet rings to end its journey in the hands of the rider. Due to its special design this type of reins has no effect on the direction of the horse, its function is to force or incite the horse to lower the head and stretch the neck by not offering a constant point of support. The rein is sliding down the fillet ring following a downline. The horse, accustomed to having a fixed point of resistance, keeps looking for that fixed point that does not exist, and finally ends up lowering the head and stretching the neck.

[0007] However, the use of German or sliding reins requires the use of a very specific technique by the rider, and may involve injuries to the horse due to misuse, especially in its vertebrae, jaw and neck. In any case, the German or sliding reins never replace a direct fixed rein since its lateral action is null, which obliges the rider to jointly use the two reins, the fixed and the sliding, if he wants to show the horse the position of the neck forward and down in extension and at the same time control its direction.

[0008] There are, in the field of industrial property, various patents that develop different elements to act in horse training or to modify and / or correct the position of your head during riding. For example, US5094062 presents a mechanism for training the horse whose objective is to improve the control of the horse, which uses means to train the flexion of the horse's head, such means being a flexible element having a fixed traction end. on a series of rings along the rein, a fixing end on the horse and a sliding intermediate part on the ring of the horse's bit.

[0009] The position of the fixing point allows the force applied to the traction end on the rein to induce the horse to position its head vertically to pivot or flex, as desired. For its part, the US2002007619 patent develops a device for the control of the horse that comprises a continuous loop that can slide through rings present in a horse's bit and that, by adjusting the length of a belt, can be adjusted to adapt to any horse. As part of the loop of the mouth itself, which acts on the nose, when the reins are tightened the loop applies simultaneous, uniform and predictable pressure to the horse's nose, improving its control.

[0010] These and other patents provide technical solutions that may be suitable for their objectives but that do not entail a reduction in the number of reins, nor do they allow combining the functions of a direct fixed rein in a single rein - direct, control and communicate with the horse - and a sliding rein - teach him to pick up his head and flex his neck.

[0011] Applicants understand that there should be a rein that would allow its use as a fixed and sliding auxiliary rein, changing from one use to another depending on the placement of the horse's head with respect to the rider's hand and the tension / force exerted by the rider's hand / arm, such reins being a unique piece.

Description of the invention

[0012] Thus, the invention presented is intended for a horse-riding rein that works as a sliding or direct fixed rein according to the relative position of the horse's head with respect to the vertical, allowing better communication with the animal and facilitating the changes of direction of the same in a fast, simple and safe way for the horse, without forcing its head and neck and significantly improving the lateral efficiency of the sliding rein.

[0013] This rein is made up of a single leather, leather, rope or similar material strap characterized by being resistant and flexible, introducing a novel element consisting of at least one ring fixed on the body of the rein.

[0014] Unlike other fixed reins, this new rein is not attached to the bite by means of a buckle or other means but passes through the horse's bit or fillet, folding over itself, so that a stretch extends from the body of the horse towards the aforementioned ring, this end being able to be fixed at any point of the horse's girth or saddle of the same and the other section of the rein comes out of the ring of the mouth of the equine in the direction of the rider's hand. The rein slides through the horse's bit based on the tension exerted by the rider in one direction, and / or the one generated by the horse, with its mouth, in the opposite. This arrangement of the rein resembles the auxiliary reins known as "sliding or German reins", but the difference, and reason for the invention, is the provision in one of the sections of the rein, in the area near the horse's bit, of at least one ring.

[0015] This ring, called blocking, is fixed in the section of the rein that has not yet passed through the ring of the mouth and that is fixed at a point of the horse's girth or the saddle and is crossed by the section of the rein that, already folded over itself, returns from the ring in the horse's bit to the hand of the rider.

[0016] In a second embodiment, a second ring, called a steering ring, is added, which is disposed at a prudently distant point of the blocking ring, fixed on the same section of the rein, closer to the point where the rein is attached to the strap or frame.

[0017] The section of the rein that goes towards the body of the horse, that is, the one that goes from the anchor point of the rein to the ring (s), can comprise a regulating element of the length of the rein. This regulating element is formed as a module equipped with perforations and a buckle that regulates said length, with a fixed anchor point, of the type buckle, hooks or any other that allows to fasten said section, together with the regulator, either to a saddle point, to the breastplate or horse's girth. between the thoracic members of the horse. In this way, the rein, is arranged with a section held by the rider and another section subject to some fixed point in the harness of the horse, being on this last section where we can regulate the total length of the rein, in order to adapt the measures of the rein to the dimensions of each horse.

[0018] The new rein fulfills its main function of controlling and directing the movements of the horse, always maintaining contact with the equine's mouth, but not being fixedly bound but passing through the ring in the horse's bit and the work of the blocking ring, that rein has the power to act as a sliding rein or as a direct fixed rein. In addition, this new double-function (sliding / fixed) rein improves the action of the so-called "sliding or German reins" because the same blocking ring acts as a steering ring, significantly improving the lateral efficiency of the sliding reins, such as It will be shown later.

[0019] In the second embodiment, this direction function is performed by the second ring, referred to as already mentioned, steering ring.

[0020] During the ride, the section between the ring in the horse's bit and the rider's hand always maintains a certain tension to ensure permanent contact with the horse's mouth while the second section, which goes from the blocking ring to the point of grip on any of the animal's harnesses, it may be tensioned or loose depending on the relative position of the horse's head angle with respect to the blocking ring, located next to the the ring in the horse's bit.

[0021] With the conformation described, the operation of the rein is simple and intuitive for the rider. The new rein works like a sliding rein, exerting a pulley effect on the horse's mouth during the time in which the horse does not yield in the position of its head and keeps it at an open angle with respect to the vertical, becoming a direct fixed rein when, keeping the rider the same initial tension in his hand, the horse yields and changes the position of his head by picking it up and placing it at an angle close to the vertical or even the vertical, at which time the reign slides by the ring in the horse's bit until this ring makes contact with the blocking ring (the first ring of the reins, in the case that it has two), blocking the path of the first section that, consequently, is loose, without tension, being just at that moment when it goes from acting as a sliding rein to acting as a direct fixed rein, leaving only in tension the section of rein that holds the rider with his hand.

[0022] If the horse changes the angle of its head again, lifting it and placing it in front of the vertical, pull the reins held by the rider's hand, sliding the reins in the opposite direction to the one described above, releasing the stop that made the blocking ring against the ring in the horse's bit, reason why again the action of the reins happens to be like sliding reign, with the two stretches stretched, increasing like this the resistance to the tension that exerts the horse without needing that the rider increases the resistance in his hand. This is due to the fact that the rein slides through the ring in the horse's bit that acts with the pulley effect that characterizes the sliding rein.

[0023] With the new double-function (sliding / fixed) rein, as long as the rider keeps the same tension on his hand in his hand, it is the horse himself who "decides" what kind of action he receives in his mouth, if as a sliding rein when keeps your head in front of the vertical, or as a fixed rein (much softer) when you place your head in the vertical or behind it.

[0024] It should be noted that in the preferred embodiment with a single blocking ring, it acts as a steering ring before it reaches the blocked position, when the reins start to act as direct reins.

[0025] The regulator of the length of the reins, which is not claimed, thanks to the various perforations that it presents, in principle from 3 to 6, but not limited in number, allows the length of the double-function reins to be adapted (sliding / fixed) to the conformation of the horse, neck length, etc., varying the distance between the blocking ring and the anchor point of the rein in the horse's harness (in the horse's girth or on the mount itself) as it has the ability to travel in the route from the anchor point of the rein in the harnesses to the steering ring (second ring). It is also possible that from the anchor point of the regulator in the harnesses the rein is extended by inserting another section in the event that the morphology of the horse so requires. This occurs, for example, when the horse's neck is more elongated, which requires a longer length of rein.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

[0027] These figures explicitly detail the conformation of the invention that is claimed, in detail of the conformation of the rein, of its behavior in its double function as a sliding rein or direct fixed rein and different ways of placing it on the horse, thus as the function of the steering ring.

[0028] In Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 a preferred embodiment is shown with a single ring that acts as a blocking ring and also serves as the steering ring before reaching the blocking position, at which time the rein happens to act as direct rein.

[0029] In Figures 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 a second embodiment is shown in which a second ring is included, intended to act only as a steering ring.

[0030] In accordance with the above, in Figure 1 the rein is shown, which comprises a single resistant and flexible strap that folds over itself forming a first section (3A) that is fixed to a point on the horse's harness (horse's girth, saddle point, etc.,) by means of a regulating element (5) of the length of the reins, and a second section (3B) whose end is held by the rider's hand, not shown in this figure. The novelty of the rein is specified in a ring (1) anchored in the first section (3A) of rein, located in a fixed position prior to the passage of the rein through the ring in the horse's bit (not shown in this figure). This ring is crossed by the second section (3B) of rein that returns from ring in the horse's bit to the hand of the rider. That is, the rein is fixed on a point of the strap or saddle, passes through the ring in the horse's bit, folds and goes back on itself, passing through the blocking ring (1), next to the aforementioned ring of the horse's bit. For its part, the regulator (5), not claimed, is formed as a module with various perforations and with an anchoring means at its free end, not shown in this figure, for example buckle, hooks or similar to hold said first section (3A), together with the regulator, on any fixed point of the horse's harness (the horse's girth, saddle, etc., ..). This regulator (5) of the length of the webbing, can be located in different points of this first section (3A) of the rein, prior to the anchoring means.

[0031] Figures 2 and 3 show schematic views of the way in which the reins go from acting as sliding reins (figure 2) to fixed or direct reins (figure 3).

[0032] In figure 2, the two sections (3A) and (3B) are tense, with the blocking ring (1) distanced from the ring (4) in the horse's bit when the horse keeps the head in front of the vertical. The rein acts as a sliding rein, with pulley action, exerting greater force and tension on the equine's mouth. At this time, the blocking ring (1) also acts as a steering element, guiding the lateral movement of the horse.

[0033] In figure 3, the horse has changed the angle of its head, which is aligned with the vertical, so that the ring (4) in the horse's bit contacts the blocking ring (1) that acts as a stop, canceling the tension of the first section (3A) of the rein, which is loose, while the second section (3B) that goes from the blocking ring (1) to the rider's hand (M) is held in tension. The rein acts as a direct fixed rein, although the rider maintains identical tension on the rein, the tension in the horse's mouth is reduced because the pulley effect has been eliminated.

[0034] The following figures show the detail of the rein, acting in its two functions and showing different anchor points, with regulator, on the horse's girth or on the saddle.

[0035] Figures 4 and 5 show the rein with the first section (3A) with the blocking ring (1) with the corresponding regulator (5) fixed by means precise to an anchor point (6) in the horse's strap and with the second section (3B) held by the rider's hand (M). These figures clearly show the path of the rein, with its first section (3A) that crosses the ring (4) in the horse's bit, folding over itself and, consequently, forming its second section (3B) that follows its route until the rider's hand (M).

[0036] Both sections (3A) and (3B) are related when the second section (3B) passes through the blocking ring (1) that is fixed in the first section (3A), and located at a point close to the ring (4) in the horse's bit, as shown in figure 4, in which the rider holds the second section (3B) of the reins with sufficient tension to maintain contact with the horse's bite and control thereof, which means that said second section (3B) of the rein remains in tension. At the same time, the first section (3A) of the rein, from the blocking ring (1) to the anchor point (6), is held in tension. In this figure 4, the rein acts as a sliding rein, with its two sections (3A) and (3B) in tension and the aforementioned blocking ring (1) acts controlling the lateral movement of the horse, that is, its direction.

[0037] When the horse, as a consequence of the action of the sliding rein on the mouth, generating a tension in its mouth, flexes its neck, picks up its head and approaches it towards the vertical, the ring (4) in the horse's bit approaches the blocking ring (1), making contact, canceling the tension of the first section (3A), which is loose as shown in figure 5. At this time, the reins claimed are now acting as a fixed reins or direct, keeping the first section (3A) of the rein, from the blocking ring (1) to the anchor point (6), loose and without tension since it receives no force from the rider's hand (M), not from the horse's mouth. For its part, the second section (3B) that reaches the rider's hand (M) remains stressed.

[0038] Figure 6 shows the second embodiment of the rein in which its conformation of single belt folded on itself is maintained forming the first section (3A) that is linked to the regulatory element (5) and the second section (3B) that hold the rider, adding a second ring intended to be of direction (2) or steering ring also anchored in the first section (3A) of rein in a fixed position prior to the passage of the rein through the ring (4) in the horse's bit and separated from the blocking ring (1), which remains at a point proximal to the ring (4) in the horse's bit. This steering ring (2), like the blocking ring (1), is crossed by the second section (3B) of rein that returns from the ring in the horse's bit to the hand of the rider.

[0039] Figures 7 and 8 show the same detail as Figures 2 and 3, that is, the sliding recess to fixed rein, including the steering ring (2). In figure 7, the rein is sliding, tense in its two sections (3A) and (3B), with the blocking ring (1) distanced from the ring (4) in the horse's bit and the steering ring (2) controlling the lateral movement of the equine. In Figure 8, the rein is fixed, its first section (3A) is without tension when the blocking ring (1) is contacted with the ring (4) in the horse's bit and its second section (3B) that goes from the steering ring (2) until the rider's hand (M) is held in tension.

[0040] Figures 9 and 10 show the same conformation of the rein and the two rings, blocking (1) and steering (2), acting as a sliding rein in Figure 9 and as a direct fixed rein in Figure 10, varying the anchor point (6) of the first section (3A) of the rein, which is linked in figure 9 to the saddle and in figure 10 to the the horse's girth. The use and work of the rein is the same as that already described, varying only the height and travel of the sections (3A) and (3B) of the rein, obviously dependent on the position of said anchor point (6).

[0041] Figures 11 and Figure 12 show graphs describing the usefulness of the ring that allows the movement of the horse to be directed laterally, in one direction or another, in a view of the horizontal plane, that is, showing the angles that are generating the reins with respect to the horse's mouth, seen from above.

[0042] As mentioned above, in the preferred embodiment the blocking ring acts as a steering ring before it reaches the blocking position, at which point the reins become direct reins. In the second embodiment, it is the second steering ring that fulfills such a function.

[0043] For a better understanding of the function of this steering ring, force and direction vectors in the same plane are taken into consideration.

[0044] Being O, the point where the steering ring is placed where the return of the rein passes to reach the rider's hand (M).
Being A the point where the ring in the horse's bit is placed in the horse's mouth. Being B the end point of the return of the rein, where the rider's hand (M) is located. Being C the representation of the resulting vector CO, product of the vectors OA and OB (does not exist materially).
Being the vector OA formed by the distance from the steering ring to the ring in the horse's bit (horse's mouth).
Being the OB vector formed by the rein from the steering ring to the hand (M) of the rider.
Being α the angle of the resulting force vector, with respect to the vector that constitutes the BO rein end, the larger the angle α is, the more lateral direction (perpendicular to the horse's neck) will have the resulting vector.

[0045] This is how it is obtained

then

[0046] Being α the angle formed by the resulting vector with respect to the direction of the vector BO (rein angle), at the same opening of the reins in the case of the first graph (Figure 11) in which the rein passes through the steering ring, forming the vector AO, a resulting vector is obtained whose direction is much more lateral (α > α') than in the case of the second graph (Figure 12) in which there is no steering ring, the vector being A'O 'formed by the distance from the a ring in bit to the horse's own mouth.

[0047] Therefore, being the α Sinus directly proportional to the length AO, and inversely proportional to the length BO, it follows that the greater the distance AO and the smaller distance BO, the greater the angle α with which the vector direction of the resulting force will be much more lateral, this being a much easier indication to be interpreted by the horse.

[0048] The second graph (Figure 12) shows how the distance B'D 'is the same as BD, the angle β' > β being the cathetus O'D '> OD, consequently the angle α' < α, which provides greater lateral efficiency to the CO vector than to the C'O 'vector.

[0049] From this it follows that if the second ring or steering ring did not exist, the distance A'O' would be very small (being in this case only the distance from a ring in the bit to the horse's mouth), being the distance B 'O' greater than in the previous case (BO), so the angle α' would be very small, the resulting action being much less effective in controlling the lateral direction of the horse.

[0050] In conclusion, and according to the graphs in figures 11 and 12, it is demonstrated that, having a steering ring linked to the reins, with the same lateral action of the reins, the horse receives a much clearer indication of lateral action , that if that ring did not exist. In other words, when the second section (3B) of the rein has a longer segment between the ring of the horse's bit and the steering ring and a smaller segment between the hand (M) of the rider and the aforementioned steering ring , the direction of the resulting force vector is substantially more lateral.

[0051] In view of all the figures described, it is clear that it is the position of the horse's head that forces the change of the reins from sliding to fixed or direct or the inverse, that is, the greater or lesser angle of the head with with respect to the vertical which in turn depends on the degree of vertical flexion of the neck of the equine. This is a particularly novel and differential aspect with respect to other reins, in which it is the rider, by means of the tension and force that he exerts with his hand on the rein, which transmits and controls the flexion of the nape of the animal, and not the horse who, through his attitude, controls the type of rein action. With the new rein, it acts in direct fixed mode or in sliding mode according to the relative position of the horse's head, which can be varied at the rider's will by means of the different location of the blocking ring along the rein.

[0052] Whenever the rider maintains (does not increase) the tension of the rein, when the horse approaches his head to the vertical, that is to say his head is flexed and collected, the ring of the horse's bit is automatically approached to the blocking ring. It is at that moment when the first section - fixed with or without the regulator at any point of the horse's girth or saddle - loses tension and the rein happens to act as a fixed rein, only with tension in the second section held by the rider's hand.
When the horse lifts its head, moving it away from the vertical and opening the angle of its neck, the rein returns to recover its sliding rein action by being the same horse who moves the ring of the bit away from the blocking ring, becoming stressed again both sections of the rein.

[0053] Thus, simply by exerting more or less tension on the section of the rein that goes to his hand, the rider allows or not that the horse has a foothold or not, making it easier for him to learn to recover his verticality or to flex his head and neck in a natural and instinctive way, since the reward in the form of relief of tension in his mouth, is immediate, all without losing contact with the bit and therefore always maintaining control and communication with the animal.

[0054] Based on this dynamic, it is the horse itself that places the position of its head in the way it feels most comfortable. In general, it is more gratifying to work with a fixed or direct rein as the sliding rein has a pulley effect on its mouth, exerting a much greater strain on it. The horse quickly learns that the flexion of his neck has a relief effect on his mouth and seeks the most comfortable position, keeping his head close to the vertical or the vertical, a position that is precisely what the rider seeks for the practice of riding. It is also easier for the rider to work with the horse, since he holds and uses in each hand a single leash / rein instead of having to manipulate two separate straps / reins with each hand.

[0055] It is important to insist on a substantial advantage of the new rein. In its preferred embodiment, the rein works only with the blocking ring which is the one that actively intervenes in the sliding recess to direct and reverse fixed rein, also fulfilling the steering function before reaching the blocking position when contacting the ring of the horse's bit which is when the reins start to act as direct reins. In the second embodiment, in which the second ring is added, it is said steering ring that acts uniquely and precisely to facilitate and increase the efficiency of the rein in the lateral action requested by the rider.

[0056] Another advantage of the new rein is that the blocking ring and / or the steering ring are fixed in their position but said fixed position can be modified to change its anchor point and its relative positions with respect to the rein ends , thus varying the angle of the horse's head from which the rein passes from acting from sliding to fixed rein. This option that allows the blocking ring and / or the steering ring to be mobile is a great advantage for the rider, since it allows you to choose in advance the position of the horse's head depending on the circumstances, discipline or activity to be performed

[0057] In this description, the regulator of the reins length is mentioned repeatedly, which is not claimed as regards its conformation because it is an element already known in the riding and that may also be present or not present in the double-function rein (sliding / fixed) that is presented. In any case, this regulating element, as a means to shorten or lengthen the length of the reign, allows the rider to establish that the distance of the blocking ring to the ring of the horse's bit is greater or lesser, which in turn sets the point at which the horse forces to flex its neck and place its head with a greater or lesser angle with respect to the vertical to free itself from the sliding reins and pass to the fixed rein, being able to adapt this length to the morphology and size of the horse.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the rein described above is used in duplicate on the horse's mount, a rein located on either side of the horse's head, that is, there is a set of two equal reins, one on the side left of the horse and another on the right side, held respectively by the left hand and by the right hand of the rider and anchored to the horse's girthor the saddle of the animal on its respective side.

[0059] It is not considered necessary to make this description more extensive so that any expert in the field understands the scope of the invention and the advantages derived therefrom. The materials, shape, size and arrangement of the elements will be susceptible to variation as long as this does not entail an alteration in the essence of the invention. The terms with which this report has been written should always be taken in a broad and non-limiting sense.
