Saddle consultation

Before you buy a saddle, we recommend our free online saddle consultation, because not every saddle model is equally suitable for every horse. In most cases, the Barefoot saddle system should be adapted to suit the individual horse.

The Barefoot® saddle system

vps

VPS®

The VPS® system was developed by Barefoot® for the special requirements of a flexible saddle. The system is protected and is used exclusively in Barefoot's saddle models.

sattelsystem

Physiological saddle system

The VPS® system distributes the rider's weight perfectly over the largest possible area of the back, avoiding pressure points.

pferdegerecht

Horse-friendly

The Barefoot saddle can move with the VPS® - unlike a saddle with a fixed tree - on the horse's back. And in any direction: sideways, upwards and downwards.

I chose the recommended saddle and have not regretted it. I also thought it was great that you can get in touch again after the break-in phase and have the saddle fit checked. The feedback came very quickly, thank you very much! Keep up the good work!

I currently ride out with the pad almost every day. Whether in shorts, jeans, leggings or classic breeches: the comfort remains the same. Even after several hours on the pad, I feel like I did from the first minute.

Barefoot® Wellington - dressage saddle
Barefoot® Wellington - dressage saddle
Farbe: schwarz | Größe (Sattel): 1
Barefoot® Wellington - dressage saddle  flexible treeless dressage saddle secure deep seat well-defined knee rolls open stirrup attachments with velcro fastenings     Innovative dressage saddle in classical smooth leather. Ultra-light dressage saddle with our well-proven VPS system (3-Layer). The 3-Layer VPS® System ensures even more protection from pressure under the stirrup attachment. The extra-narrow seat and special, flat saddle flaps allow excellent contact between the rider's leg and the horse. The detachable seat means the saddle is extremely flexible and adapts itself precisely to the horse's body shape. The open stirrup attachment is fixed between the seat and the saddle's under construction and can easily be adjusted, giving the rider an exact fit.  Riders with unequal leg length can achieve an optimal position by pushing the stirrup attachment further forward or backward to suit. The anatomically-contoured seat has a non-slip surface; the knee roll gently stabilises the rider's leg in the correct dressage position. Additional cushioning can be fixed under the contoured saddle flaps with Velcro fastening. The saddle is fitted with a flexible V-girth. As with all Barefoot models, this saddle can be placed further forward on the horse, thus positioning the rider directly above its centre of gravity, making it easier for the horse to balance the rider's weight. As in all our saddles, the (mid-sized) pommel is exchangeable. (for further details see our size advisory service) flexible in all dimensions (X,Y,Z) No pressure and therefore no restriction of muscle development open stirrup attachments can be positioned individually flexible V-girth 3-Layer VPS® System Anatomically-contoured flaps, additional flaps available Seat gives you "near-to-horse" feeling for more sensitive riding. Weight only 6kg (approx.) Size: 1, 2 Colour: black Delivery includes saddle cover   Special order on request, delivery time about 16 weeks The special white pad can be ordered by phone or email.

Barefoot® 'Contour Physio' Bridle
Barefoot® 'Contour Physio' Bridle
Farbe: dunkelbraun/haselnuss | Größe: 1 COB
Barefoot® 'Contour Physio' Bridle  anatomically shaped Contour headpiece (patent pending) exact fit to horse's head precise aids through perfect fit no slipping towards horse's eye many uses     Barefoot® - Designed FOR Horses! The solution: Not only for sensitive horses! For all styles of riding and lunging. The Barefoot® 'Contour Physio' bridle can be precisely fitted to the horse's head as it is of a totally different design to traditional bridles. A. The Contour poll area is shaped forward so that no pressure is applied to the sensitive area behind the ears where a nerve trunk attaches to the occipital bone. The headpiece is softly padded and curved around the horse's ears - the ears have room, the headpiece nestles softly. B. The cheek pieces and throat lash are thought through and fitted to the horse's head in a different way. The cheek pieces fork out, this y-shape prevents slipping: the horse's eye stays free! The bridle can be precisely fitted to the horse's head and stays in place. The Barefoot® 'Contour Physio' bridle has many uses: 1. with Barefoot® 'Shape-It' noseband or Cavesson for bitless riding or lunging 2. with Barefoot® 'Shape-It' noseband or Cavesson + bit straps for riding and lunging with bit. 3. with hackamore or bosal 4. with bit (simply attach bit to the left and right) 5. ...many more possibilities Sizes: 0 (Pony): length adjustable from 84 -96 cm, browband 41cm 1 (Cob - Thoroughbred) :length adjustable from 91-107cm, browband 42 cm 2 (Full - Warmblood) length adjustable from 98-118cm, browband 43cm 3 (Drafthorse) length adjustable from 107-123cm, browband 45cm Explanation to measurement: the length was measured from left to right towards the mouth over the poll in a straight line.

Barefoot® 'Ride-on-Pad' Physio Support
Barefoot® 'Ride-on-Pad' Physio Support
Farbe: schwarz | Variante: L
Barefoot® 'Ride-on-Pad' Physio Support  comes with 2 different sets of shims qualified for older horses and heavy riders Horse friendly v-girthing Slip-proof underside with Sympanova Grab handle made from sturdy nylon     Ride-On-Pad `Physio Support` with knee rolls Barefoot® Ride-On-Pad Physio Support  with large knee rolls add to support the rider´s legs whilst the high, soft cantle encloses and supports rider at the back. The  underside is made of Sympanova to prevent slipping on horse's back. The underside has an additional padding pad. Included are 2 sets of shims (1 pair of cellular rubber shims and 1 set of soft PU foam). The padded underside ensures spinal clearance and also additional protection for the horse's back. Difficult saddle positions can be balanced by cutting shims. The Barefoot®  Ride-On-Pad Physio Support has no stirrup attachments to avoid any pressure on the horse's back muscles. With most bareback pads girth attachment runs straight across the back and puts pressure on one or two spinous processes - the Barefoot® Ride-On-Pads are more horse-friendly: The concealed girth straps are mounted centrally on skirts and therefore distribute pressure over the whole area. The Barefoot® Ride-On-Pad Physio Support gives the rider a really secure seat close to the horse and is stable on the horse's back due to non-slip underside. · D-Rings to secure bags · Nylon carry handle · horse-friendly rigging · non-slip, padding underside · large knee rolls and secure seat Size: S, L (dress size german 32-36 or 38-44) Colour: brown or black Size S = Lenght: 53 cm, Length of flap: 48 cm Size L = Lenght: 60 cm, Length of flap: 53 cm Tip: The Barefoot® Ride-On-Pad Physio Support is not suited for smaller ponies due to long saddle skirts and rigging. We recommend: use Barefoot® Ride-On-Pad in pony size for smaller ponies like Shetlands.
