ABOUT
BAREFOOT® SADDLES
We are an exclusive US importer of the original and authentic treeless Barefoot® saddles designed by Barefoot in Germany. All saddles and accessories are in stock for immediate delivery. Dealer inquiries are welcome. The Barefoot® saddles are designed by Sabine Ullmann, a German equine physiotherapist. During her years working on horses with saddle related back problems, she decided to use her knowledge to create her own range of high quality saddles. Barefoot® saddles are flexible, soft, very light (about 10 lbs) and adjust to the horse's back in all directions. They are totally flexible and move 'with' the horse rather than creating a barrier of a stiff tree. Horses move more relaxed and free because no tree is constricting the shoulder, the Barefoot® pommel moves with the horse. No pressure under the cantle gives relief to short and flat backed horses. The Barefoot® is stable on the horse's back even when the horse is round and has low withers. Barefoot® saddles provide a very close contact with the horse and help horses and riders with back issues. Many riders find relief from pain because the saddles are so soft and cause less jarring to the rider's back. Beginner riders learn to feel the rhythm and find balance much faster. The Barefoot® is therefore a popular training tool and is also being used for therapeutic riding. Experienced riders enjoy the unbeatable contact to the horse. One Barefoot® saddle can be used for horses with different conformation - no more saddle fitting. For all treeless saddles we suggest the use of special saddle pads with shock absorbing foam inserts such as the Skito or Grandeur pads.
