VPS® system
The VPS® distributes the rider's weight optimally and as far as possible in the area that can be loaded, between the withers and the 15th/16th thoracic vertebrae. This eliminates pressure peaks. Due to the low thickness of the VPS® system, very subtle communication with the horse is possible, resulting in much finer riding. The rider can feel the differentiated work of his horse's back muscles under the saddle.
Physiologic saddle system
Barefoot saddles follow the horse's topline anatomically and are flexible in all directions - without a rigid tree. They therefore adapt perfectly to the horse's back and allow sweeping movements from the shoulder and at the same time a free arching of the back. The spine and withers remain constantly free.
Fit
Under the flexible Barefoot saddle, a horse can move without pressure because the saddle moves with the horse's muscle movements, allowing blood circulation, muscle development and relaxation.
