Barefoot Wellington Dressage Treeless Saddles

Barefoot Wellington Dressage Treeless Saddles are designed with the demands of the dressage rider in mind. It is a beautiful soft leather saddle, and void of D rings for a sleek, elegant look. This saddle has a deeper seat, higher cantle, and narrower twist in the seat. With the cut out shape of the under flap, the rider's leg will feel very close contact with the horse.

"The Wellington 'settles' on the back so well- it allows my leg to hang in a much more natural position for dressage. SUPER comfortable.. Really couldn't believe it as I have ridden in most of the Barefoot saddles at one point or another. The Cheyenne had been my favorite until I hopped on this one!

"...let me tell you.. this chestnut stallion (pictured above) has a measured 15" back (where the saddle should actually sit) THIS saddle is the only saddle that sits me far enough forward to not sore him. I previously used the Cheyenne and it was fine, too.. but obviously not appropriate for the show and did not allow my leg to lie flat enough. As you know, MANY of my clients have now purchased the Wellington." - trainer, Jodi Tuft.

The deep seat is anatomically designed to contour to the rider and has a non-slip surface. It features prominent, supportive knee rolls that are preferred by dressage riders worldwide. Extra knee rolls can be place under the contoured flap. It has a flexible V shape girth.

This Wellington Dressage Saddle has an open stirrup attachment and is adjustable to the rider as it is attached with Velcro under the seat. It can be positioned so the stirrups hang exactly where you want them. With the S-curve open stirrup attachment, normal stirrup leathers can be used such as the Barefoot Softy Calf English Stirrup Leathers.

As with all Barefoot saddles, it will not restrict movement or impede the shoulder. It allows the placement of the saddle to be farther forward than treed saddles, and puts the rider in a great position over the horse's center of gravity. This allows the horse to carry the weight of the rider more easily.

All Barefoot Saddles are built with the Vertabrae Protection System. This VPS design includes layers of material on either side of the spine for the horse's back protection.
