A revolutionary new way of riding. Conceived and engineered by a master saddle maker, along with trainers, the Baretek is neither a saddle nor a bareback pad- it's a saddle alternative, and the ultimate training tool.  Suede seat in slightly padded for comfort. Feel the Communication between you & your horse. The BARETEK fits all types of different horses conformation. Wool Felt lining.  A great addition to your tack. One Size, best for riders size 14 and under. We do recommend that you always use a good saddle pad under the BARETEK to insure your horse's comfort and avoid rubbing. For longer riding periods we highly recommend a therapeutic pad, such as the skito. NO stirrups are used with this saddle alternative.  Riders learn their own balance, rather than depending on their stirrups.

The beginner as well as the advanced rider will find major training benefits while using the BARETEK. Unlike regular bareback pads, which are unstable and uncomfortable, the BARETEK, with its unique design, finally gives the rider the opportunity to concentrate on pleasure and skills.

Experienced riders will also appreciate the direct communication with the horse through the seat bones and legs. Comfortable as a saddle, light as a bareback pad. The BARETEK is the best of both worlds.

Recommendations:

• As with all tree-free saddles, we suggest the use of an insert pad, such as the SKITO OR GRANDEUR SADDLE PADS.   
• For your horse's comfort, always use a mounting block or aid
• Any dressage girth is compatible with the Barefoot Saddles
• For your feet, we recommend the comfort of  E Z RIDE STIRRUPS
• For barefoot horses, we highly recommend the BOA HOOF BOOTS or OLD MACS BOOTS
