Hi Paulita, Just a few words about my ‘happy ass’ saddle. It’s been a year since I ordered my Ultimate Trail saddle. I initially went looking for an alternative to my bespoke County saddle when my horse Blanco finally started coming back into work after a long bout of lameness. Blanco suffered from under run […]

Hi! My name is Ainsley Suskey and I’m just as energetic, horse-loving, and wild-spirited as many of you. I started riding lessons at the age of four, and started in endurance at the ripe old age of six. I entered the sport on a little shetland pony named Captain Thunderpants who was just as full […]

Product shout out. Far through the years was difficult to find that perfect saddle for. He has an unusually long wither which would rub raw. The Freeform saddle with the correct pad completely stopped this. Truly the only set up that works perfectly for him. He moves free and I love the contact you feel […]
I can say I’ve got over 6,500 miles on my horse in FF saddles. I’ve tried other saddles and always gone back to my FFs. I can use them on various horses and they are comfortable for me on multi-day 50-milers.

We’ve known the horse below for several years. The original owner, while she got assistance from a pro-fitter, was having a great deal of trouble finding a saddle that this horse could move comfortably in. We got the horse, a 5-year old Arabian, in the early fall and it was clear he had been through […]
My horse Bethany GreyC ran the AHA distance nationals in Indiana this past weekend. We finished 3rd out of 20 entries in the 100-mile distance and won BC for both AERC and AHA. I believe your saddle directly contributed to the BC award.
Several years ago the wonderful woman who started my adventure of trimming my own horses, Suzanne, said to me many, many times “Paulita, you need to set up the paradise paddock system for your horses.” She went into detail of how it helps with laminitis, keeps the weight down and promotes overall wonderful horse health. […]
April has lots of great tips here! Why saddles don’t fit I invite you to go out to your horse and tie them on a flat surface and stand on a stool or bucket 5-10 foot behind them and notice how one side rump is higher. Now notice how one side of the back where […]
Legend and I did out first ever 50 endurance ride on September 30 at the Metropark Express ride in Michigan. We rode in our Freeform saddle that we bought earlier this year and it has been a wonderful saddle in training and competition. Legend finished strong and sound with absolutely no back pain! It was […]
By Bobbie Jo Lieberman Soon after I finished my first 100-mile endurance ride in a borrowed Stubben Columbo made of buffalo hide, the first of a new generation of treeless saddles was creating a buzz in the horse world. In the early 1980s, treeless was a new and captivating idea. After our fifth-place finish on […]
