Barefoot 'Barrydale' Saddle
anatomically knee rolls
the saddle frames the rider
deep and very secure seat
ideal for long distance rides
bicoloured, very soft Nubuck leather
The anatomically shaped, duo coloured, soft Nubuck leather knee rolls, incorporated in the detachable seat of this Barefoot® Saddle, frame the rider to allow for a deep and very secure seat whether out hacking or in the arena. The Barefoot 'Barrydale' is particularly popular with Endurance Riders - strenuous up and down - no problem with this saddle. Your legs are precisely positioned, the saddle stays secure, the horse's back pressure free - a must especially on long distance rides.
The stirrup bar can be freely positioned between saddle & seat to suit your preferred seat position & your size.
Flexible, V-Shaped girthing system. The saddle is also suitable for difficult girthing positions. It lies a little further forward than conventional saddles, therefore positions the rider directly above the horse's center of gravity.
Your horse will find it easier to balance your weight.
With this saddle you will feel your horse's muscles work and the movement of its back, the basic requirements for more advanced riding.

Healthy back due to our VPS System
VPS stands for vertebrae protecting system. It consists of a combination of different materials which enable the rider’s weight to be distributed evenly over the largest possible saddle area .Even at a standing trot, the rider's weight is distributed over the entire saddle surface there is therefore no weight restriction for riders. For more information see: Barefoot flyer VPS-System.
Exchange pommel Size Middle
We normally deliver this saddle with an exchangeable pommel insert in size MEDIUM. Each Barefoot saddle is equipped with an exchangeable pommel at the front, which allows it to be adapted to the shoulder width of your horse. With the help of our measuring template you can easily determine the correct size of pommel insert for your horse (Link: Measuring template + instructions).
Velcro Stirrup Attachment open and free positioning
The open stirrup suspension with Velcro fastening is attached between the seat and the saddle substructure and can therefore be easily adjusted. This means that the saddle can easily be adapted to riders with different leg lengths simply by moving the stirrup suspension either backwards or forwards.
Narrow Stirrup-Attachment
Narrow stirrup attachment approx. 2.5 cm width, suitable for all English stirrup leathers and narrow fenders.
Flexible V-Girthing - even works for critical horse girth areas
The movable V-strap is often used when a horse has girthing problems. It gives the elbow plenty of room to move and, because the two strands can move independently of one another, the pressure from the girth is distributed more evenly.
Available in Saddle size 0 with extended delivery period
This saddle is also available as a special order in size 0 with a delivery time of approx. 12-14 weeks. Due to the special production, the return or exchange right for this saddle is not applicable. The seat size 0 is suitable for riders with clothing size ladies 32/34-36 and men 44-46.
