Since the Barefoot Saddle is constructed completely flexible, it can adjust to the horseback even when it changes tremendously. A freshly started colt changes quickly, the muscles increase, fat is reduced… hence a conventional saddle doesn’t fit for long, even if had been fitted correctly – the Barefoot Saddle saddle can grow along. Without restriction to his movements, a horse enjoy being taken for a ride.
Forming of Saddle area: It is a widespread misbelieve that it is normal for a saddle area to exhibit hollow spots next to the withers – and the saddle seems to be imprinted on the horseback. Some so called experts still call this „Molding of saddle area“, however it is a clear sign of muscle atrophy (reduction of muscles)! This means that underneath a rigid, illfitting saddle the muscle doesn’t have enough space to develop, the oxygen supply is restricted – it hardens and starts to shrink. Depending on the severity, the reconstruction of this muscle is next to impossible, but at least a long-lasting and difficult endeavour. So please – in order to prevent this from happening – use a Barefoot Saddle which doesn’t only prevent from muscle atrophy but actually helps improve the development of muscles, which enable the horse to carry the rider and to balance themselves.
