Barefoot® English Saddles
General Information: All saddles are made of high quality, thick, pliable Nubuck leather with soft, off-white fleece underside. Anatomically shaped saddles with excellent wither clearance. Each
Barefoot saddle has a thick, molded, pressure absorbing panel on either
side of the horse´s spine. These panels create a gullet to
guarantee improved spinal clearance. They are also anatomically shaped
to the rider´s thighs. The seat is removable and attaches to the
saddle base with wide, non-slip Velcro.
Removable
/ exchangeable fibreglass pommel arch (available in several sizes -
delivery includes size middle. "Wide" size for EXTREMELY broad
horses with no noticeable withers but instead very strong and broad
shoulders (the soft inserts made out of wool work well too). "Narrow"
size for EXTREMELY narrow horses with prominent withers.
All
Barefoot saddles have a higher cantle made of a semi-elastic material,
which is anatomically shaped, to horse and rider and therefore enhances
the horse´s freedom of motion and encourages engagement of the
hindquarters and vertical flexion of the back. For the rider this newly
designed cantle provides a deep, softly cushioned and very secure seat.
The cantle can also be replaced with some cloth like material to
accommodate even the most difficult to fit horses.
Using
a double-stitched stirrup attachment, the invisible construction ribbons
spread the weight of the rider standing in the stirrups. Extra wide and
flat rings are used and the fender and stirrup leathers come with
buckles below to avoid pressure.
