We are proud to be one of the first to carry the authentic Barefoot® Treeless Saddle designed by Barefoot Germany here in the United States.  You cannot beat the quality for the price! The Barefoot continues to perform well, and has a great reputation in the US and abroad! 

The original and genuine Barefoot Saddles are the result of extensive research, and design from a German Physiotherapist which lead to the popular Barefoot Saddle line, allowing the European Treeless Riding Concept to become available here in North America.  You are about to discover the closest, safest experience next to bareback riding. This is an item used personally by the people at Lori's Tack, and we are thrilled to recommend it to you!

Treeless saddles are a wonder for the horse, as well as the rider.  The horse can move as nature intended, without any restriction from a wooden or solid tree.  The rider feels the movement, the arch of the horse's back and both enjoy the freedom.

There are many Treeless saddles on the market.  The Barefoot saddle is great for those seeking a secure, lightweight english rigged saddle that is a big step up in quality, while remaining easy on the budget!  Many styles are available, the Cheyenne, London, Tahoe and Atlanta, along with the western styles,  the Western Rigged Arizona, and the Sierra. 

The Barefoot saddle is made from a soft, nubuck leather which is breathable, secure and easily conforms to the horse's back.  A note on color:  Black is a soft black, not a jet black.  This is true with ANY nubuck leather product.   We use only natural vegetable oils/dyes to color our saddles.  As black is not a natural leather color, the shade will vary somewhat from saddle to saddle.  The pommel is filled with a formed fiberglass for stability.  The cantle is filled with a firm, thick PU foam, instead of the formed fiberglass. The pommel forms are completely removable, and can be stuffed with a wool, or other material of the rider's choice. 

This saddle has a tendency to stay put (isn't that what we all want?), and does not tend to slip on even the roundest of horses.

The best features of this saddle:

1. No break in time. The nubuck leather immediately conforms to the rider and the horse. No loud "squeaky" noises.  The fenders (and stirrup leathers) flex easily as well.

2. Lightweight.  Our saddles weigh in between 8 and 12 pounds, depending on the model.

3. Lots of D rings (stainless steel) to hang your trail ridin' stuff. (5 on each saddle)

4. English rigging...easy on you...easy on the horse.  Any dressage girth will work!

5.  Best of all, it won't break the bank at 649.00 for the CHEYENNE, 829.00 for the LONDON DRESSAGE and 899.00 for the ARIZONA, the snazzy  TAHOE, is 829.00 and the ATLANTA and SIERRA are 799.00 and 829.00, respectively.
