Exclusive and innovative saddle in the classical Dressage design manufactured with soft nubuck leather, with a stirrup attachment which can be positioned as needed.  Flexible V-rigging, wedge-shaped bolster underneath the seat and two sets of knee blocks which can be adjusted via velcro.

This saddle lets the rider feel every movement of the horse's back and his muscles - thus creating a sound foundation for subtle riding.

The stirrup attachment can be positioned as needed - therefore the saddle can easily be adjusted to your personal needs and measurements. From 2021, the saddle is supplied with the open (e-bar) stirrup leather attachment.

The 'Lexington' is equipped with a wedge-shaped VPS® padding, raising the seat in the rear and thus enabling a straight position for the rider, which is even further supported by the distinct knee block.

The rigging is flexible and runs in a V-form, allowing the saddle to be girthed up straight even when the girthing area is difficult. The 'Lexington' places the rider directly above the horse's centre of gravity. The horse can more easily balance the rider's weight.

Thanks to the long and slightly wider flap with built-in knee blocks, the rider's leg is securely positioned in a dressage seat. Underneath this support, additional knee blocks - which are supplied in two different sizes - can be placed as desired by velcro fastening. Furthermore, the knee block support is equipped with AirPumpSystem - air can circulate allowing the knee block to conform to the rider's leg even more softly.

This saddle ensures proper support even when hacking out; therefore it comes with 6 D-rings to attach saddle pad and luggage. As with all Barefoot® saddles, the fiberglass inlay in the pommel (size medium) can be exchanged.to a wider one if needed (different width inserts are available to purchase separately).

This saddle model is not suitable for wide and flat withered horses.

Please note: The length of saddle (A) is the overall length. Since there is no pressure at all in the rear part, the horse can move freely. Even if the saddle looks a little too long on your horse, choose the size according to your measurements. It is very important that the saddle fits the rider well, so he has enough space between thighs and pommel and does not sit on the pommel or cantle, which would limit the saddle's adaptability. The horse's back is free of any pressure at the rear – the Barefoot can even be lifted slightly at the cantle with a rider on board.
