Click image to enlarge

The Freeform SB saddles were designed to fit Arabians, Quarter horses and other short-backed horses but are equally suited for pony's 14hh and above. These saddles are almost identical to the Freeform Classic but have a shorter base and slightly shorter and narrower panels. Since December 06 these saddles have an adjustable girthing system and the SB with forwarded girthpoints will be discontinued due to this great improvement.

Being an all purpose saddle with totally adjustable stirrup points the Freeform has proven to be excellent for a variety of equestrian sports and horses and riders seem to excel in this saddle. In Australia the Freeform is starting to acquire an impressive fan club of very well know riders and organizations. The feedback we get from customers after 12 months of selling this saddle is fabulous no matter if the rider is a Grand Prix level dressage person or medal winning endurance rider. The horses simply move better and are more balanced. A happy horse is a better performer and the Freeform has been a welcome relief for many performance and pleasure horses. This includes horses who have been through dozens of saddles, chiropractors and equine therapists, horses that were written off due to back issues and horses that had developed dangerous behaviors due to saddle pain.

 

No pressure points have ever been reported to dealers worldwide in the three years since the Freeform saddle was released. The Freeform SB was available with more forward positioned girth points for horses with forward girth groves where other saddles tend to move up the horses neck. The saddles are now equipped with flexibel girthpoints which will allow you to fit the girthstraps perfectly to your horses girth grove. The Freeform saddles all have a 'twist' and don't make you sit as wide as many other treeless saddles, they are super comfortable and give just the right amount of support. The 'twist' detail makes this treeless brand more comfortable to ride in for riders with very broad backed horses. The saddle has also been the solution for riders with back and hip problems.

The Freeform saddle is very stable on the horses back and and will fit any horse that does not have an extremely high wither. Due to a flexible pommel arch; the gullet of this saddle selfadjusts, the saddle is flexible in all direction without being floppy. It will keep its shape and it's good looks and it is maintenance free. As with most treeless saddles, the saddle pad is of utmost importance and we suggest that the rider does not try to cut any corners. The job of the saddle pad is not so much shockabsorbtion with the Freeform because the saddle itself takes very good care of that by itself. However we need the saddle pad to create a channel over the horses spine and to ensure wither clearance at all times. We happily advise you on which saddle pad would be the most suitable for your horse and discipline of riding. Please request our saddle fitting questionnaire via email and we shall give you our recommendations. We may require some photo's of your horse also and may want to discuss details if the horse in question has a history of back issues. Horse Connection has fitted saddles for hard to fit horses for the last 3 years with a 98% success rate, however this saddle is also a 'God send' for any horse lucky enough not have any back issues.
