Treeless - How much?

[Laura2184]

Hi Guys,

Im really interested in treeless saddles at the moment and was wondering who had them and what price you paid for them? If you dont mind me asking

Seriously considering getting one but am on a budget!

Any advice would be great!

Thanks

www.freewebs.com/alternativehorse will give you links to all the treeless saddles available and their costs.

Avoid the cheap unbranded ones on EBay - there's a reason they're cheap

A decent treeless with accessories can cost from £400 up to several thousand.

Mine was about $2500 US / #1300 UK (including shipping and taxes) - but I was not on a tight budget at the time. It is my 'once in a lifetime' dream saddle. It has been extremely good value in my situation though, as the saddle has had huge benefits for me as a rider, as well as for my horses .. and because I can use it for all 4 horses.... and it's less expensive than 4 used saddles of lower quality would have been.

Thanks Showjumper that site is extremely useful.

Has anyone got a Barefoot Cheyenne or London? They look VERY comfy, I get a bad back when Im out riding and I think the soft seat would really help.

Which treeless do you have Kate?

Thanks Kate, Its annoying as for once in my life I have got savings to be able to afford that sort of price but its going on a new house instead!

 

[KateWooten]

New houses are good too I have the phoenix dressage, jules... and with the FX rate just gone to over $2 to the pound ... I'm going to invest in the more jumpinger version too. I keep putting their various jumping saddles on them if we're going to pop a few poles and honestly, I'm right back to square one with a very insecure seat in a regular treed saddle ... so I shall be 100% Heather Moffet by the fall with any luck

Are you looking for a saddle or a new skirt?? and are the black ones really more comfy than the brown ones??

 

[Laura2184]

No Bobbin, I am looking for a black saddle as I have black tack.

I was just making a statement about the saddles and how they look comfy.
