Barefoot Nottingham Treeless Saddles
The
Barefoot Nottingham Saddles feature an
all new
three-layer Vertebrae Protection System, or VPS, making this all purpose treeless saddle
ideal for riders who jump a little, who ride with more weight in the stirrups, have more weight in the saddle, or more protection for every-day, long rides! This saddle has great flexibility, so the
rider and horse can still feel each other while the horse moves freely under the
saddle. This is a true all-purpose saddle, and has an extremely comfortable seat.
The Barefoot Nottinham provides close contact with your horse and like all Barefoot saddles, is flexible and does not restrict your horse's movement - so your horse's muscles will build.

- Triple Layer VPS System

Saddle Trial Program
You can try the saddle for one week (7 days) after receiving the saddle to decide if it�s a good fit for you and your horse. Keep it clean, keep the tags. Ride in a controlled area, do not go on a trail ride. If you mark it up, scratch it, or damage it, you cannot return it. You cannot return a used saddle pad or girth/cinch. Use your own saddle pad to try the saddle if possible. If after one week you decide to return the saddle,
you will be charged a $100 restocking fee and you pay to ship the saddle back to us. If you would like to try a saddle for a week, Message us sales@barefootsaddlesusa.com
Barefoot test rider says: I tried this saddle on my wide mare, and did a little bit of jumping, lots of two point and light seat and some trail riding. The saddle is made of very soft leather, and that made all the difference helping to stabilize my leg on the two-point or light seat. I felt very secure over fences too, which I did not expect with a treeless saddle. My mare has changed shape since having a foal, and fitting can be tricky. This Barefoot saddle made her very comfortable, and only adjustment needed was to put a wide pommel insert in.
All Barefoot brand treeless saddles come with a saddle system called Vertebrae Protection System (VPS), which is a patented panel system designed to protect the spine of the horse.
The Barefoot Treeless saddles come with a medium size fiberglass insert. You can purchase additional narrow, wide, extra wide, or soft pommel inserts as needed for your horse's conformation. Click here for more information on the Barefoot Pommel Inserts, and a printable version of the pommel sizing template. All Barefoot Treeless saddles are manufactured in Germany, and restocked monthly.
