The saddle comes in two sizes and the extra wide and extra narrow fiberglass pommels (gullet) of the Cheyenne will also fit this saddle. The London has adjustable kneerolls and comes standard with two sets of Velcroblocks so that you can adjust the saddle according to your preference. The London gives a very nice deep seat and does have a little bit of 'twist' meaning you do not sit as wide as in many other treeless models. The cantle of the London is made of a semi flexible foam/rubber to take care of the sensitive lumbar region of your horse. You will need one of our therapeutic saddle pads to ensure spinal clearance and perfect weight distribution as you do with all treeless saddles.

This saddle is the solution for anyone who is looking for a good looking and well made treeless Dressage saddle that is still affordable and that will fit all the horses on your paddock. The unbeatable comfort of all other Barefoot models for horses and riders also applies to the London. The London provides an especially soft and comfortable seat for the rider, be ready for riding on clouds.

We have been waiting in suspense for this model and believe that it will help many dressage and pleasure horses in the country currently suffering from saddle pain. From experience I can say that a treeless saddle is a dream come true for any Dressage rider, the aids get finer, the connection with the horse so very subtle and your horse will move forward so much freer and with more lightness. Laterals also become much easier for the horse because it has the space to move the spine laterally and vertically without restriction.

You can expect that your horse will build or rebuild topline fast in the London provided you know how to exercise your horse correctly. Please also be ready for a horse that now gives you extensions as well as collection with more enthusiasm. Formerly lazy and short stepping horses will be easier to ride with more impulsion and improved stridelength.

We are very excited to finally offer a Barefoot Dressage saddle to the Australian riders, it may just be time for you now to take the plunge and go treeless.

For dressage competitions we recommend you use one of your square white saddlecloth on top of your therapeutic saddle pad. We have Grandeur pads shaped to the London in black, wine red and royal blue and we also have black Physiopads available for the London for horses with higher withers, atrophied backs or the heavier rider. Both types of pads were designed by Barefoot Germany to fit the London perfectly. The saddlepads attach to the saddle in 4 places so the fit is very tidy and snug.
