It is in realitya cross between a saddle and a sulky. The weal of thesulky occupies the position of the ordinary saddle, andthe feet of the driver are supported in stirrups. Butthe saddle, instead of resting on the horse, is support-ed on a yoke frame, that carries a pair of sulky wheels,which run along the ground on either side of thehorse. Coil springs are interposed between the postswhich carry the wheels and the yoke piece to whichthe saddle is secured, so as to take up any unevennessin the road. With Ihis type of sulky the driver isafforded all the facilities of a riding jockey in the con-. SADDLE WITH SPEING STIEEUPSTRAP.
