Hand made German treeless saddle

| The Barefoot Treeless Saddle |
The Barefoot Treeless Saddle, designed by German Equine Physiopractitioner S. Ullmann, is intended to comfortably fit even the most difficult-to-fit horses.
No withers? High withers? Short back? Long back? Wide horse? The Barefoot Treeless Saddle conforms to practically all of them.
Flexible in all directions
No hard, smooth leather is used in its construction; instead a vegetable-tanned nubuck leather, which is porous and readily fits itself properly into the shape of the horse’s back. (As they say in Germany, just like a good pair of Lederhosen!)
The feel of your horse’s every movement
The pommel and cantle of the Barefoot are filled and stabilized with a fiberglass form, but there is no tree between your seat and your horse’s back. Very comfortable for the rider and a very close contact to the horse. Riding a Treeless Saddle naturally puts you in a position similar to bareback riding.
Removable pieces for even more fitting options
On the Cheyenne, the fiberglass pommel & cantle are removable through two zippered openings, and can be replaced with either soft cloth or now also with extra wide or extra high fibreglass inserts, if needed, to allow even more conformity to extremely hard to fit horses.
Maximum contact
Through these forms and through the positioning of the rider close to the horse, the saddle achieves a very secure hold on the horse’s back and does not tend to slip on even the roundest horses.
No break-in time for the rider
The soft nubuck leather conforms to your body as well as your horse’s.
