Made for Women: The Ultimate Trail Saddle

Paulita Neff October 1, 2014

Truly the most COMFORTABLE treeless trail saddle! The Ultimate Trail Saddle is a GREAT new saddle for trail and endurance!! Woohoo! After many years of riding I wanted to design a comfy saddle for my older body. I worked for a few years on prototypes of different seat styles. Finally I’ve come up with what I think is the perfect seat! A wonderful gel seat that fits a woman’s pelvic bones. It’s wide in the seat, narrow in the twist and high in the cantle with soft gel poleys. This seat will keep you comfortable in the saddle for many hours of riding. I’m in love with the comfort and security of it. I call it the Happy Ass Seat. You can buy the seat separately to upgrade your current Freeform base.

Here’s what a few happy customers have said about the Freeform Ultimate Trail Saddle:

“This new treeless trail saddle is amazing! 3.5 hours of W/T/C and I’m not sore anywhere! It is the most comfortable saddle ever! Plus the horses all seem to move so nicely in it. Win win!” – Rachel Stevick-Quires

“I'm in love with the Ultimate Trail saddle and what it's done for my horse!

I had gone 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. That’s when I discovered the treeless saddle & after much research contacted Paulita. We talked about what I wanted and what Blanco needed.

We've never been happier. I’ve had the Ultimate Trail saddle and Freeform pad for a year now. We’ve come so far. Blanco’s back is still changing, but through it all the saddle has fit both of us perfectly.”

“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), although it probably took a solid two or three months to get the panels and stirrups placed juuuust right. Now it's absolutely perfect. Svenna loves it, too. She moves out great in it.

"I ended up putting the panels pretty far back and with a very wide spinal channel. It is super balanced and stable on her very round back - I can even get on from the ground if I absolutely have to. I also like how the front part of the panel fills in under my knee; it makes the saddle fit me a bit better and more securely. It took a lot of fussing to figure out this arrangement, I tried lots of different pads and panel placements, but I'm very happy with the result. Her sweat marks have also been great with this arrangement." READ THE WHOLE STORY..”
