Hi Karla, A few ideas for you. First, do you use a girth with elastic on both ends, not just on one? That can make a big difference. Tighten the cinch...
Hi Karen, Wanted to know where you got the information about the weakly gaited horse will gait better if pain is involved? I like you, would not want to hurt...
Love this saddle, but due to severe arthritis, I've found that I'm now more comfortable in a saddle with a twist. 16 or 16 1/2" Bob Marshall sport saddle,...

Other than a jumping saddle, why would ... I can give you one reason - freedom from pain. Before I got my Ansur I had Cheryl Lemke come out and tried her...
This is from a post on the barefoothorsetrim list, posted by Dr. Kellon, VMD: Hypersensitivity to touch and sound, high muscle tone, shying, jumpiness in...
Has anyone out there experienced loin rubs with the equipedic and freeform combination? My mare has developed loin rubs this winter. I switched to the freeform...
Hi Patty Your problem could be one or a combination of factors. Being in the UK, I've only seen one Equipedic pad so cannot really comment too much but if it...
Patty, By loin rubs do you mean from the back of the saddle or pad digging into her? As in the saddle and pad are too long? Because she's a short backed...
Lisa, The back of the saddle and pad aren't necessarily "digging into her". Loin rubs are at the back of the saddle where the hair gets rubbed off from the ...
Thanks for the info. Yeah..my saddlebred is very kind, she actually takes care of me out on the trail. She gaits...easy now and when I collect her to gait I...
This is one of the original Bob Marshalls, a high-quality custom Deluxe Trail model with hard to find Oakleaf tooling. It's a size 16 and is currently up on...
Hi Patty, I have no personal experience with the Equipedic pads, but I did have a loin rubbing issue with a Supracor bareback pad I had. Basically, the pad...
Hi folks, just wanted to stop in and introduce our selves to you. We have the fine opportunity to be a distributor in Canada for Barefoot Saddles and many...
Guess what gang! I got my new Sensation Pad today only 2 weeks after ordering it! The wait is usually about 6 weeks, but I got lucky and the company received...
Thanks for the report! I will be trying one out next week and am anxiously waiting for it! If you get a chance to jump in it please let me know how it goes! ...
Abby, I don't think the problem is related to the saddle or pad being too long. The Freeform SB is for short backed horses. The soreness after our 60 mile ...
hi, i got a cheyenne barefoot recently and was wondering what people do for the care of the nubuck leather. instructions say use oil, but what oil? i have...
... OK, did not realize you had the SB. Could the pad still be too long, though? Does it stick out beyond the back of the saddle at all? ... Take a piece of...
I like the idea of not starting out with the knots under the saddle, in case you don't have any clearance! Make your string more than double the length of...
I was told to do this test with a leadrope 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick. Does baling twine really give enough clearance? I will have to test mine that way. With my...
Hello susan When I got mine from Candace Kahn at Action Rider Tack, I also bought some NIkwax nubuck cleaner and nubuck waterproofer....I also have a fleece...
anybody ever has short girth straps put on a dressage saddle? we really like the saddle our horse has on at the moment, but the girth straps are getting harder...
Ann: Ann: Did you do your test after riding for awhile, or just jump into the saddle and pull. Hard to believe a 1" rope, I assume to was not knotted..... I...
I'll probably jump in my Sensation either tonight or Sunday. I'm anxious to try it out for sure over the fences. Right now I'm just using a Wintec dressage...
