About the Freeform Enduro X
The Freeform EnduroX model is a general purpose style of saddle most suitable for endurance, trail, and schooling. Styled similar to the FreeWest seat, but with the addition of a slightly built up cantle and molded "poleys" on either side of the pommel for a more secure leg.
You don't need to compromise on comfort in tough terrain. The miles will go by fast with this very comfy saddle. Both you and your horse will enjoy saddling up! This seat seems to fit the gentlemen perfectly. The saddle comes standard with our new 3-D ring billet system, to ensure the billets fit the girth grove.
Earlier Reviews of the Enduro X Treeless Saddle
The Enduro X has since been discontinued (it morphed into the new Pathfinder saddle), but here are a few reviews from when it was in stock:
"I have tried so many treed and Treeless saddles that it makes me crazy. A friend and trainer who has done Tevis and lots of endurance rides this saddle. Paulita was incredible to work with and got me set up with a 19 inch Enduro X saddle with cut back skirt on standard 22 base. My first ride was nothing short of spectacular - I could feel my horse moving better than ever before with a happy back. This is a horse who had had foot fractures and soundness issues. What a ride!!! From the unobtrusive stirrup leathers to the comfy seat to the skirt that hugs every contour of my horse I am in love!! I highly recommend a sheepskin seat cover - comfy rears are a must. Try a Freeform - you will NOT be disappointed. Thanks Paulita!!!!!!!!!! Also thanks Tom from Skito - took the time to develop custom inserts and pad for me." - Gabe S. Calif.
"I began riding in treeless saddles after years of struggling with saddle fit. I began in another companies saddle and it cured 90% of my problems. I then found Freeform!
The immediate comfort to myself was apparent. It feels like a saddle rather than a bareback pad, yet I can also feel the horse in a way that gives me greater awareness of movement, which I love.
The saddle had immediate positive results with all my horses. Some minor tweaking was required for Far, the legendary endurance horse. He has a unique wither that requires use of a pad made for him. Paulita worked with us and as they say, the rest is history.
I truly love these saddles, they work with all our horses, Arabians from 14.2 - 16h with just as different of shapes and stride lengths. One saddle for all." - Rusty T. AZ
