I have been a long time Barefoot saddle user, I have had a Cheyenne for years. But I am looking to get something I can jump in. Plus my Cheyenne is an older style and I think the stirrup leather rings are causing pressure points on my horse's back.
I am interested in the Ghost saddle, its seems very lightweight and looks like it offers more protection for the horse.
There is also the Dartmoor/Exmoor Tree Free saddle which looks very similar to the Cheyenne but has normal stirrup bars as opposed to closed ring, which is tedious as I can't use normal leathers. Its also much more expensive than the Cheyenne.
I like the look of the Freeform but had read varying reviews about them, not all positive.
I have a flat backed chubby cob with a little bit of wither (only had him a couple of months, so won't be chubby forever!). My Cheyenne fits him fine, but I have noticed it rubs at the back a bit as well.
So, any recommendations? Is there a treeless saddle that surpasses them all? I am not restricted to the cheaper end of the scale necessarily as I envisage having the saddle for a long time. I am leaning towards the ghost at the moment, but its so adjustable it seems a bit daunting!
Choccy biscuits for any help!
