| The Size of your Barefoot saddle mostly depends on the rider’s figure. Most manufacturers of saddles use just the weight of the rider to evaluate the right size, however we find this to be somewhat imprecise, because after all a person who is 1.80 m tall and weighs 55 kg has a completely different “impact” on the saddle than a person with the same weight but just 1.60 m tall. Therefore we recommend saddle sizes according to clothing sizes.

Size 1: Ladys size 36 -38/40; Gents 44/46 – 48/50
Size 2: Ladys size 40 – 46; Gents 48 – 54

This model is offered in one-size-fits-all for ladys 36 – 44 and gents 46 – 56
In case of doubt, prefer the larger size. It is important that the rider is placed correctly in the saddle in order to feel comfortable.
The Barefoot places the rider ideally over the center of gravity of the horse – and since there is no rigid tree which restricts any movements, the overall length is not that important – very much to the contrary of a conventional saddle.
