1 of 5 Sooo disappointed... March 26, 2024
Reviewer: Nancy Neuman from Montana  
Have had my eye on the Barrydale for a very long time and finally ordered one. I met the size specification for a size one...sadly the  saddle did NOT fit me at all. Just a warning, if you fit into the size one specification, go up a size. I didn't know how small they really are. ALSO, you are charged for shipping in both directions, especially costly if you need to return the saddle like I did...VERY disappointed ;-(

5 of 5 Fits perfectly! February 25, 2024
Reviewer: Jessica Short from WILMINGTON, DE United States  
The only issue with the saddle I've had is that it's a bit slippery, but I've been using a leather conditioner and it's slowly helping.

5 of 5 Mindblowing! September 21, 2022
Reviewer: Chantal from KwaZulu Natal, South Africa  
Whilst looking for the ultimate saddle that can fir all horses I trialed a Barefoot Barrydale.
Initially I struggled with the positioning of the stirrup attachment but after moving it forward and shortening my stirrups slightly I hit the ultimate level of comfort! Aside from my position improving drastically my 14.3hh horse's movement has never been better, and despite his extremely short-coupling he moves like a 17hh warmblood with this saddle. Our new-found freedom is absolutely incredible.
My only regret is that I wish I had gone Barefoot sooner!

Very attractive and lightweight. I’ve just ridden in it twice but feels very comfortable.

I have been riding for 40 years. Dressage, mostly. This is the most comfortable saddle I have ever owned and believe me, I’ve been through a lot of them! My horse is very happy  with it too!  I highly recommend this saddle!!

5 of 5 Enjoying my new saddle November 17, 2015
Reviewer: Lorraine Stubbins from Princeton, BC  
I have had my Barefoot Barrydale Saddle for weeks now and it is conforming nicely to my shape. I moved the stirrup hanger forward about an inch to bring the thigh blocks into contact with my leg. I like the balance it puts me in. The cantle supports very well on our terrain, steep ups and downs. I put it to the test when i went out for a fast hack riding my big Irish mare and ponying our Akhal-teke gelding. They were feeling fresh in the cold and we did lots of fast long canters. Even with a bit of "monkey-business" the saddle stayed in the middle and I felt secure. My mare is feeling happy to do a big power trot so it must feel good on her shoulders. I like the fact that under my grandeur under pad, I used a liner, a thin cotton baby pad, it came away with a long dry centre strip around the wither gullet area.

We bought my partner a barely used Cherokee and he is enjoying it on his Akhal-teke gelding. Off to the desert we go in January to put some serious trail miles on.

3 of 5 Barrydale saddle January 8, 2015
Reviewer: Deb from Canada  
Bought this saddle second hand and was disappointed that the leather seat was not of the same quality as some other models I had tried several years ago. The rolled edge digs into my leg and the seat fits very small. As a result I have taken it off and am using a sheepskin seatsaver which is much more comfortable. Pretty saddle good in other ways but wish I had trailed it before purchase as I would have chosen another model.
