I have come to the rather sad decision to sell my Freeform saddle 
. It is a tad too long for faith, and since we now have the Cashel soft saddle (which faith LOVES), it is no longer needed. It's such a shame to have to sell it as it is a beautiful saddle which is really comfy and supportive to ride in, but since it doesn't fit my ponio, it might as well find a home where it can be used.
Ok so here goes:
GENUINE Black Freeform Classic saddle for sale. Short Back version. Bought it as a 16" seat, however these seats attach with Velcro so if you needed a bigger/smaller one then you could just swap it. Beautiful black Italian calf skin leather. Bought from Goldfinch Equestrian. Microchipped but not sure if it ever got registered.
Extra supportive knee rolls, sheepskin underside, synthetic black non-stretch stirrup leathers included. Self-adjusting girthing system. Stirrup leathers lay across the saddle under the seat, so technically 'closed stirrup attachment' and should ideally be used with a Barnes Buckle, safety stirrups, or cage stirrups (I have some of these available too but will be at extra cost) - can technically be used with bent leg stirrup irons, however the above are slightly better re:safety.
Beautiful saddle. Very rarely used. Always ridden with a ride-on rain cover attached (so saddle seat has never actually seen daylight!). Stored under made-to-measure fleece cover. A very well-loved saddle in practically new condition. Cost me over £800 new. Looking for around £600. Make me an offer.
INCLUDED: Black Equitex treeless saddle pad. Natural Line range (the ones designed for treeless saddles, not as extra padding for treed saddles - thats the High-Tech Line). Measures 24" along the spine, 21" from spine to bottom of flap. Has been used but once cleaned up you'd never know. Made from special foam which moulds to the shape of the horse and rider as it warms up...the longer you ride, the comfier it gets! Lovely pad. Only for sale as no longer needed (also because it fits the Freeform perfectly). Happy to sell separately if not required with the saddle. Cost around £100 new, looking for £30ish if sold separately, or it will be included in the price of the saddle if you want both.
ALSO FOR SALE: Easycare caged endurance stirrups. Black. Light-weight plastic. Padded base for impact absorption. Fabulous stirrups - really reay comfy! (No more achy knees or ankles!). Used all over the world by endurance riders because they are that good. Have been used but after a clean up you'd never guess (only ever been used with above Freeform saddle, hence rarely used). Cost about £90 when new. Really quite reluctant to sell, but since we ride stirrup-less they are no longer required. Looking for around £50.
ALSO FOR SALE: Black thorowgood dressage girth. Synthetic waffle type with leather edging. 26" (65cm) in length. Anatomically shaped - cut away behind the elbows to allow freedom if movement. Elasticated on both sides for even pressure distribution. Can't remember how much I paid for it but reasonable offers over £10 will be considered.
ALSO FOR SALE: Black fully elasticated treeless saddle girth (can also be used on treed saddles with dressage girth arrangement). 26" (65cm) in length. Was advertised as a girth which could be fastened relatively loosely yet allow for the rider to mount from the ground since the elastic central section acts as the 'helping hand', compensating for the uneven weight distribution ad preventing saddle slippage. I never truly tested this theory as I always mount from a mounting block, but on the odd occasion where I needed to mount from the ground, the saddle never moved when this girth was used.
Straight cut. Fully made out of elastic - elasticated girth attachments with a double elasticated central section. For sale as no longer needed. Cost around £30 new, offers over £10 considered.
Pictures to follow!!!
