My name is Candy Kahn and I have loved horses for as long as I can remember (and that’s a lot of years now). As a young girl I saved my baby sitting money and then walked up to West Hills Stable on Long Island, NY to rent a horse. In my early 20’s, a […]
My friend Paulita Neff is at it again with more treeless saddle surprises. She’s the one who designed my gorgeous moss green Freeform saddle, which I absolutely love. Now she’s developing some new designs after making a trip to Italy and working with these fine saddle makers. She’s very committed to helping people and their […]
In November 2015, Susie Caldwell, my assistant, Amy Summerall, one of our Saddle Up reps, and I took a trip across the ocean to Italy. It was a bit nerve racking due to the tragic shooting in Paris the day before our flight. We couldn’t let that stop us: I had saddles to design! And […]
I have been a Police Officer for 16 years and on the mounted unit for eleven. My equine partner’s name is Marshal. He is a 24 years old, Morgan Arabian cross and has been my law enforcement partner for eight years. The best part is how Marshal came into my life. Approximately ten years ago […]
I was a mounted police officer in Madison, Wisconsin for almost 20 years. After I retired, I was the trainer for the Madison Mounted Police for yet another four years (2010-14). My third police mount “HotShot” is an Arabian/Percheron X (yes, purposely bred!). He was IMPOSSIBLE to fit. We went through three or four saddles […]

Just wanted to give you a little Svenna update- she has changed SO MUCH since I bought the Freeform. Her back looks incredible. Really, her whole body has muscled up properly because she can get over the back and really work. “I love riding in it (more balanced than my $4000 custom saddle ever was), […]
Here are a couple of photos of the new Ultimate Trail Seat combined with the FreeGait saddle. Talk about COMFORT! The ultimate for both horse and rider.
I’ve been really happy with my FreeGait saddle for the past several years. My Rocky Mountain gaited horse moves more freely in it, compared to a number of other saddles I’ve tried. And the seat was surely comfortable. But THIS SEAT, the Ultimate Trail, takes comfort to new heights!!! The day after I got it, […]

Just wanted to shoot you a pic of me and my saddle at the Ft Stanton ride, love love love this saddle. I rode two very tough rides, and I didn’t get sore or uncomfortable one time. The saddle was great going up and down some pretty significant climbs. Thanks again for all your help!!
Consider adding panels to your saddle for those round backs: “Just wanted to give you a little Svenna update- she has changed SO MUCH since I bought the freeform.

I love it and so does my horse Zanie! With the new panel system I feel very balanced and secure and my horse is comfortable and free moving. The saddle does not slip when I mount anymore! It’s a keeper!
I’m loving my Freeform! The treeless saddle I had previously continued to cause soreness and white spots on my horse’s back no matter how much I tried with pads. Since getting my Freeform saddle her back hasn’t been sore and the white spots are going away! The elite dressage seat for me is a great […]
I am Legend’s mom and I was introduced to your saddle through Theresa. Legend is a 17.5, 2,000lb barrel belly Clydesdale. I have been through 3 saddles before I found this saddle. I bought a draft saddle that was too small – I just about gave up hope. I have a draft horse – why […]
