W.D. Davis invented an improved version of the riding saddle. He received a patent for his invention on October 6, 1895. W.D. Davis’s version of the saddle contained springs under the seat and above the stirrups. This made for a smoother ride, made the saddle more durable, and made the saddle easier to adjust.
W.D. Davis, who was also a top agriculturist of his time and a cattle breeder, created his improved version of the saddle while he was serving as a Buffalo Soldier.
