I loved trying out the Freeform Trail saddle on Hallie today. It’s my new favourite! It’s so balanced and so secure! Excuse my daggy old Skito pad, it’s so old !

Long days in the saddle don’t have to be painful. We now stock Freeform Treeless Western models with a range of fork sizes. This one is the Small Butterfly, the seats are so comfy and like all of our saddles there’s a wither cutback and fenders are included. We can make any other colour you like - this one pictured is in stock in Australia.

We have the jumping version here in SA to sell and try - pic in comments.
