The lightest Barefoot with only 4,5 kg! This saddle is made of thick, pliable leather with soft, off-white fleece underside. Anatomically shaped saddle with excellent wither clearance. The surroundings are made out of leather.
Seven D-rings and leather straps in front and back provide many possibilities to attach saddlebags etc. The decorative horsehead and the feathers are made out of a darker brown leather and give the Atlanta a personal touch intensified by the silver conchas.
Each Barefoot saddle has a thick, moulded, pressure absorbing panel on either side of the horse´s spine. These panels create a gullet to guarantee improved spinal clearance. They are also anatomically shaped to the rider´s thighs. Removable / exchangeable fibreglass pommel arch (available in several sizes – delivery includes size middle).
The saddle has a higher cantle made of a semi-elastic material, which is anatomically shaped, to horse and rider and therefore enhances the horse´s freedom of motion and encourages engagement of the hindquarters and vertical flexion of the back. For the rider this newly designed cantle provides a deep, softly cushioned and very secure seat.
The seat is removable and attaches to the saddle base with wide, non-slip Velcro.
Weight approximately 4.5kg (10 lbs).
Fibreglass insert for extremely broad horses or those with prominent withers
Fibreglass insert for exchanging with the standard fibreglass insert for the front of the Cherokee saddle.
“Wide” sizes for EXTREMELY broad horses with no noticeable withers but instead very strong and broad shoulders. “Narrow” sizes for EXTREMELY narrow horses with prominent withers.
Use this insert only for a really extreme horse back; for a “normal” broad back (e.g. Haflinger, Norwegian….) the standard breadth is mostly sufficient.
Fitting couldn’t be simpler: open the zip fastener, exchange the inserts, close the zip fastener – finished!
