[0001] The present invention relates to a girth for lunging a horse or groundwork with a
horse of the type as recited in the preamble of the first claim.
[0002] A similar device is described in patent document
DE224654C.
[0003] In particular, the present invention relates to a girth for training known as lunge
training.
[0004] Lunge training is a fundamental technique for the athletic preparation of the horse.
This training helps the horse in fact, to move with both sides balanced and advance
with proper posture and a regular gait.
[0005] Currently many accessories are used, for lunge training such as fixed reins, long
reins and other types, which have the purpose of relaxing the horse by mimicking the
function of the rider's hand.
[0006] The action of these accessories, therefore, works exclusively on the horse's mouth.
The prior art described has several significant drawbacks.
[0007] Almost all devices, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, are concentrated
on the upper line of the animal and do not provide any type of support regarding lateral
flexibility.
[0008] However, every horse, just as any human, is not perfectly symmetrical: horses can
in fact be left-dominant, right-dominant and have an asymmetric dominance. These features
make animals not perfectly aligned in their movements and body with the result of
generating, if the appropriate measures are not taken, countless problems affecting
the locomotion, behaviour and health of the same horses.
[0009] In this situation the technical purpose of the present invention is to devise a girth
for ground or lunge training a horse able to substantially overcome at least some
of the drawbacks mentioned.
[0010] Within the sphere of said technical purpose, one important aim of the invention is
to obtain a girth for training that allows training not only on the upper line of
the animal and in particular along the lower line.
[0011] Another important purpose of the invention is to provide a girth that is able to
tighten, relaxing the horse's muscles during the movement so as to make them flexible.
As a result, a further object of the invention is to remove the tensions and the pain
related to the incorrect posture of the horse in order to prevent the onset of stress,
mental imbalances and oppositional behaviour of the horse.
[0012] In conclusion, a further technical task of the invention is to contribute to the
well-being and competitive longevity of the horse at both amateur and competitive
levels.
[0013] The technical purpose and specified aims are achieved by a girth for lunging a horse
or groundwork with a horse as claimed in the appended Claim 1.
[0014] Preferred technical embodiments are described in the dependent claims.
[0015] The characteristics and advantages of the invention are clearly evident from the
following detailed description of preferred embodiments thereof, with reference to
the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0016] Herein, the measures, values, shapes and geometric references (such as perpendicularity
and parallelism), when used with words like "about" or other similar terms such as
"approximately" or "substantially", are to be understood as except for measurement
errors or inaccuracies due to production and/or manufacturing errors and, above all,
except for a slight divergence from the value, measure, shape or geometric reference
which it is associated with. For example, said terms, if associated with a value,
preferably indicate a divergence of not more than 10% of said value.
[0017] In addition, where used terms such as "first", "second", "upper", "lower", "main"
and "secondary" do not necessarily refer to an order, a priority relationship or relative
position, but may simply be used to more clearly distinguish different components
from each other.
[0018] The measurements and data presented herein are to be considered, unless otherwise
indicated, as made in Standard International Atmospheres ICAO (ISO 2533: 1975).
[0019] With reference to said drawings, reference numeral
1 globally denotes the girth for ground or lunge training a horse according to the
invention.
[0020] The girth 1 preferably has the characteristics of a classic English girth.
[0021] Thus it may comprise, for example, a support
2. The support 2 is, for example, a strap that can be tied at both ends to a saddle
so as to girdle the lower portion of a horse and, in particular, the belly of the
horse.
[0022] Furthermore, the girth 1 preferably comprises a device
3.
[0023] The device 3 may be included inside the support 2 and be a portion thereof. Alternatively,
the device 3 can be removably connected to the support 2 as wished and may be fastened
along it as desired.
[0024] In this case, the device 3 preferably also comprises the fastening means
30.
[0025] The fastening means 30 may comprise one or more loop portions suitable to contain
inside them part of the support 2.
[0026] Substantially, the fastening means 30 are preferably rings making it possible to
move the device 3 along the support 2 and fasten the device 3 at a given point of
the support 2.
[0027] In order to do this, for example, the fastening means may be annular structures comprising
at least one control portion suitable to narrow or broaden the loop made by the fastening
means 30.
[0028] Structures of this type are known, for example, of in the clothing or handbag sector
and preferably consist of straps.
[0029] The device 3 comprises, in addition, a mechanism
31. In the case in which the device 3 is part of the support 2, preferably, the girth
1 itself comprises the mechanism 31.
[0030] The mechanism 31 is a lever mechanism suitable to exert a pressure on the side of
the horse.
[0031] Preferably, the mechanism 31 defines a support plane
31a.
[0032] The support plane 31a is preferably the plane that adheres to the belly or, rather,
to a portion of the belly of the horse. The support plane 31a may also be slightly
curved so as to follow the lines of the horse's belly and be more comfortable for
the latter.
[0033] The mechanism 31 comprises a lever
32 and at least one pin
33.
[0034] The lever 32 is preferably a class one lever. It has in other words at least a first
rod
32a, a second rod
32b.
[0035] The pin 33, preferably defines the fulcrum of the lever 32 and may be a mechanical
hinge of any type. Preferably, it is arranged in an intermediate position of the lever
32, as all class one levers, and divides and substantially connects the first and
second rod 32a, 32b.
[0036] The pin 33 thus structurally connects the rods 32a, 32b so as to allow the rotation
around the pin 33 of the rods 32a, 32b relative to the device 3.
[0037] The rods 32a, 32b are preferably in one piece and hinged in the fulcrum pin 33. Preferably,
the pin 33 defines an axis of rotation
33a.
[0038] The axis of rotation 33a is preferably coplanar relative to the support plane 31a.
Therefore, preferably, the rods 32a, 32b may perform rotations around the axis of
rotation 33a in an integral manner and respectively away from and towards, or towards
and away from the support plane 31a.
[0039] Consequently, preferably, the device 3 also comprises a hole
36.
[0040] Preferably, the hole 36 is suitable to house at least part of the lever 32 so as
to allow the rotation of the same around the pin 33 without obstruction.
[0041] In particular, preferably, the hole 36 is suitable to house part of the second rod
32a. The first rod 32a is preferably to be considered as the rod placed at the outer
side of the device 3, relative to the horse, while the second rod 32b is to be considered
as mainly placed at the inner side of the device 3, relative to the horse, i.e. towards
the belly of the horse.
[0042] The second rod 32b is suitable to interact with the side of the horse. Therefore,
the second rod 32b also comprises at least one interactive element
34. The interactive element 34 is preferably an element suitable to allow the interaction
between the second rod 32b and the side of the horse without damaging or overly straining
the latter.
[0043] Preferably, the interactive element 34 has at least one curved contact surface, e.g.
of the spherical type and, in detail, is preferably suitable to press the side of
the horse.
[0044] The first rod 32a instead comprises a ring
35.
[0045] The ring 35 is preferably arranged at the end of the first rod 32a. However, it could
also be arranged in intermediate positions, reducing the lever arm 32.
[0046] In detail, the ring 35 is designed to be detachably engaged to a lunge or rein.
[0047] This way, the ring 35 allows the control of the entire lever 32 by means of the lunge
or rein and, in detail, allows the pressure exerted by the interactive element 34
on the side of the horse to be controlled.
[0048] Thus, the interactive element 34 of the second rod 32b is suitable to exert a pressure
on the side of the horse when the lunge or rein is tightened and the rods 32a, 32b
are rotated relative to the girth 1.
[0049] In other words, when the first rod 32a is moved away from the support plane 31a,
the second rod 32b moves away from the support plane 31a and, consequently, moves
towards the side or belly of the horse, compressing it.
[0050] Substantially, the pressure exerted by the interactive element 34 is designed to
mimic the action of the legs of a rider so as to relax the horse.
[0051] The rods 32a, 32b can therefore be straight rods, or may also have curves to allow
targeted and directed compression as desired.
[0052] In addition, the rods 32a, 32b each define an adjustable rod length so as to regulate
the pressure exerted on the side of the horse.
[0053] For example, the mechanism 31 may comprise a pin 33 removably connected to the device
33 or to the support 2 itself.
[0054] In this case, the invention may provide a kit of mechanisms 31 removably bound to
the device 3 or to the support 2 wherein the pin 33 has the same characteristics,
while the levers 32 have different rods to modulate the pressure to be exerted on
the belly.
[0055] Pins 33 suitable for this configuration preferably have at least one coupling portion
suitable to allow the connection of the pin 33 to the girth 1 and, more appropriately,
to the support 2 and/or the device 3. Such connections are, for example, common mechanical
connections consisting of screws and bolts, and opening and closing clamps or others
known to the current state of the art.
[0056] Alternatively, the invention may comprise a kit of levers 32 removably connected
to the pin 33. Such levers 32 may have protuberances, e.g. extending along the axis
of rotation 33a, which can be trapped by the pin 33, as usually known in mechanics
for removable hinges, and comprise rods of different lengths to adjust the pressure.
This aspect is important since, substantially, the relationship between the tension
and the pressure applied to the side varies, thus also varying the sensitivity of
the user engages the horse, for example, in lungeing.
[0057] Furthermore, the device 3 may comprise a padding
37.
[0058] The padding 37 may comprise any soft material, for example of the same type of standard
cushions, designed to increase the comfort of the contact surface of the device 3
with the skin of the horse.
[0059] Consequently, preferably, the padding 37 is arranged on the side comprising the second
rod 32b and is opposite the fastening means 30, in the case in which the device 3
is not integrated in the support 2, but is movable.
[0060] Preferably, in an alternative configuration, the girth 1 comprises a plurality of
mechanisms 31. More in detail, the girth 1 comprises two mechanisms 31 arranged, when
the girth 1 is connected to a saddle, symmetrically, or in a mirror-like manner, relative
to the plane of symmetry of the horse.
[0061] In particular, preferably, the mechanisms can symmetrically compress the sides of
the horse.
[0062] Furthermore, if the girth 1 is not in one piece with the devices 3, it may comprise
two devices 3.
[0063] The devices 3, preferably two in number, are preferably connected to the support
2 in a symmetrical, or specular manner, compared to the plane of symmetry of the horse,
by means of the fastening means 30.
[0064] Therefore, in these configurations, the girth comprises levers 32 and pins 33 on
both sides.
[0065] As already mentioned, the various accessories and/or reins used in the lunge training
(such as fixed reins, etc.) are preferably attached to the rings.
[0066] In this case too, the reins attached to the rings 35, when tightened, activate the
second rod 32b inside the girth 1, which generates a compressive force. This force
creates a pressure that is exerted on the side of the horse through the preferably
spherical interactive element 34, which can be of various kinds and sizes, and placed,
for example, at the end of the second rod 32b.
[0067] Through the mechanism 31 of levers 32 and rings 35 the perfect coordination with
the assistance of the rider is also ensured in lunge training. In fact, when the reins
are tightened, the pressure on the sides is immediately associated, imitating the
pressure of the rider's legs.
[0068] The invention can be used with most of the more common accessories used in lunge
training (fixed reins, long reins, etc.).
[0069] By way of example, the functioning of the invention has been described with the long
reins method and the fixed reins method.
[0070] Figs. 5-6 - show a horse being trained with the long reins attached, not to a classic
girth but to the girth of the invention 1. The long rein passing from the side outside
the horse and from the other inside, coupling first to the bit of the horse and, secondly,
to the ring 35 of the girth 1. Observing Fig. 5 one may notice the combination of
two forces. The action carried out by the reins on the horse's mouth is coordinated
with the action exerted by the lever 32 on the side of the horse.
[0071] Fig. 5 shows training with fixed reins placed on both sides and attached to the invention.
The external fixed reins are coupled to a classic horse surcingle for lunge training
and exert a passive action, the internal fixed reins instead are coupled to the ring
35 of the invention exercising an active action. In this case too, the action carried
out by the reins on the horse's mouth is coordinated with the action exerted by the
lever 32 on the side of the horse.
[0072] The invention therefore associates the classic accessory of reins for lunge training
with the action of an active girth that exerts pressure to the side of the horse.
[0073] The functioning of the girth 1 for ground or lunge training a horse previously described
in structural terms is as follows.
[0074] A user can enable a horse to acquire a correct posture, when the horse is being trained
on a lunge or in general, doing ground training by means of the girth mechanism.
[0075] In particular, the girth 1 makes it possible to work simultaneously on the upper
and lower line of the horse. In detail, the girth 1 allows the addition of side training
by faithfully simulating the action of the rider's inner leg when mounted and the
control of the bending of the horse by pressing on the side, for example between the
5
th and the 7
th rib, leading the horse to adopt a correct posture in the bending phase and typically
with a slightly backward shoulder.
[0076] The girth 1 for ground or lunge training of a horse according to the invention brings
important advantages.
[0077] In fact, the girth 1 allows one to work beyond the upper line of the horse, characterized
that is by the control means available on the mouth of the horse, and to work simultaneously
on two different lines.
[0078] In this way, another advantageous aspect of the invention is to reduce or eliminate
the internal states of tension of the horse during lunge training, leading it to relax
its muscles.
[0079] As a result, further advantages are given by the increase in flexibility of the horse
after using the girth 1, as well as a reduction of pain due to incorrect postures,
and resulting strain caused thereby preventing the occurrence of stress, mental imbalances
and oppositional behaviour of the horse.
[0080] Thus, overall, the girth contributes to the well-being and longevity of the horse
at both amateur and professional levels.
[0081] The purposes achieved are obtained with a mobile or fixed device that is easy to
produce and has very low costs in terms of implementation.
[0082] Variations may be made to the invention described herein without departing from the
scope of the inventive concept defined in the claims.
[0083] For example, the interactive elements 34 may be of different ergonomic forms so as
to increase the ergonomics of the same.
[0084] In said sphere defined by the appended claims, all the details may be replaced with
equivalent elements and the materials, shapes and dimensions may be as desired.
