treeless here we come

[joanneh]

Hi

After having 2 saddle fitters who could't find a saddle to fit our pony, we have decided to go treeless - barefoot-

My daughter who has been ridding bareback for a month! bless her - said (the black one she tried, i've ordered a brown one) it was like an armchair!!

She looked so relaxed and comfy i went straight round and ordered one.

It could be a few weeks before it arrives but were very excited

Just wanted to share

XX cheers

i love them too, though i have a torsion, but the arm chair was just the feeling i got, just be carefull not to get any weight in the stirrup, good luck with it, jen x

why not put any weight in the stirrup jen

[rhillahorse]

I think because there is no tree between the stirrup bars and the horse so could cause pressure points.

I'm treeless and guilty of putting too much weight in the stirrup - have to keep reminding myself - but not had any pressure points (touch wood!)

I ride as normal in my treeless, havehad no pressure points or anything from the stirrups. Mind you, we do tend to walk most of the time. Have fun with it, mine is wonderful!

Good luck. I have just gone Treeless with my TB in the last 2 weeks, where both loving it so far so good.
