Barefoot 'Barrydale' Saddle
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.9D-Rings to secure saddle pad or luggage.

Barefoot saddles are hand made. This makes every saddle unique. The measurements are therefore just reference points and can vary slightly.

Since there is no pressure at all in the rear part, the horse can move freely. Even if the saddle looks a little too long on your horse, choose the size according to your measurements. It is very important that the saddle fits the rider well, so he has enough space between thighs and pommel and does not sit on the pommel or cantle, which would limit the saddle's adaptability. The horse's back is free of any pressure at the rear – the Barefoot can even be lifted slightly at the cantle with a rider on board.

Care and Maintenance of Barefoot Products
Healthy back due to our VPS SystemVPS 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.
Flexible V-Girthing - even works for critical horse girth areasThe 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.
Narrow Stirrup-AttachmentNarrow stirrup attachment approx. 2.5 cm width, suitable for all English stirrup leathers and narrow fenders.
Adjustable Velcro stirrup suspensionThe adjustable Velcro stirrup suspension is attached between the seat and the saddle substructure and is therefore easy to adjust. 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.
Exchange pommel Size MediumWe 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.

Fantastic saddle, received my barrydale last week & it has to be the comfiest saddle I've ever sat in. Perfect support for my creaky knees & ive had no back ache whatsoever since using it. Fits my welsh cob perfectly & he's so much happier with a treeless, more forward, less spooky obviously more comfortable. I can't recommend this saddle enough - it is awesome especially on long hacks - don't think about it, just get one, you'll be transformed. Thank you horse and harmony for great customer service.
