VPS stands for vertebrae protecting system. It consists of a combination of different materials that distribute the rider's weight optimally and as widely as possible over the entire saddle surface. Even at a standing trot, the rider's weight is distributed over the entire saddle surface - there is therefore no restriction on the rider's weight. This saddle is specially equipped with a 3-layer VPS system and thus guarantees even more protection for the horse's back. Particularly suitable for heavier riders, trail riding and any other strenuous situations. For more information see: Barefoot flyer VPS-System.

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 

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 approx. 2.5 cm width, suitable for all English stirrup leathers and narrow fenders.

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.
