From Robb & the carrot crew!

Paulita Neff February 9, 2016

(Robb purchased our Ultimate Trail Saddle for her four horses: an Arab, an Arab-Appaloosa cross and two Lusitanos, four very different backs.)

“What a great experience I’ve had working with Paulita on finding a lovely saddle. While on a new saddle quest, knowing what was wanted and not wanted, Paulita was very flexible on sending me a huge box to work with combinations that would fit/work for a variety of horses and a changing middle-age body! Between intermittent riding due to weather, I appreciated the fact that she worked with me on try-out time. It is nice to have optional, flexible, nice quality leather to come up with a saddle that works just for me and my guys. Now the hard part: to sell all the other saddles in my dining room and purchase one more FreeForm for my one special guy in one of those lovely custom leather combinations!!! Thank you Paulita and FreeForm”

Happy riding – Robb & the carrot crew!

“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..”
