Barefoot Saddle Fitting and Barefoot Saddle System Information



All Barefoot Saddles are designed anatomically to follow the horse's topline and are flexible in all dimensions--without a rigid tree. These treeless saddles adjust to the horse's back, allowing for bigger strides from the shoulder and lifting of the back. The columnar vertebrae and withers remain free of pressure. Additionally, under a Barefoot Saddle, the shoulder and loin area are not restricted.


Here, you will find information about the Barefoot Saddle system, including:

  • What is VPS (Vertebrae Protection System)
  • Why Barefoot Saddles are considered a Physiological Saddle System
  • The benefits of muscular development training with Barefoot Saddles

We will also provide valuable fitting information, complete with pictures, to show you how to properly fit Barefoot Saddles to different horse types and shapes.
