[RC] My New Barefoot Saddle - cschiroI got my new Barefoot Cheyenne Treeless saddle a couple weeks ago and love it. My old saddle didn't fit my new arab (saddle too long), so I began saddle shopping. I thought I really wanted a Bob Marshall, but was getting frustrated because of pricey additional fees for "custom" items (getting a wide pommel instead of the standard and getting a larger 16.5 or 17" seat) and the VERY long wait (8 weeks!) - Uhhh, what was I going to ride in during that time!!??. My friend told me there were other treeless saddles out there, included one called Barefoot. I checked it out and ordered one through Candy Kahn. To get a wide pommel was only $50 extra and you can change out the pommels yourself because the pommel leather has a zipper. Cool! You could use this saddle on different width horse and would only take a minute to change out the pommel. And the size seat I wanted was at no extra charge. This saddle is SOOOO confortable to ride. It's supportive but VERY cushiony, and not slippery. No need for meriono wool seat pad or Tush Cushions! I use it with a EquiPedic pad which Candy also sells. I think my horse like it better AND he has no dry spots. Plus, it's a couple hundred $ cheaper than the Bob Marshall saddles. I have never heard the Barefoot saddle mentioned before on RC, so I thought I would throw the name out if anyone is looking for a treeless saddle. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
