The Freemax saddle arrived today. I must say that it is amazingly light and looks very well made. Shame that I can't try it on Bella, but with the daytime temperature of -16C, I don't think she would appreciate the rugs coming off and it is such thick ice that I could't ride her in it anyway.
We will wait for better weather.
Better weather arrived and I have to admit, I don't like this saddle. The knee rolls are in the wrong place for me and my knees rest on them which is hard and very uncomfortable, though I do have long legs (32").
I have since sold this saddle to someone who is only 5'2" and it fits her fine.

Transitioning a young TB to barefoot, bitless and treeless.
I bought Bella 1 month ago. She is a 3 yr. old TB, never raced, but broken at a racing yard.
From the day I bought her she has been a most unusual shape for a TB. Bella is croup high by 2" so she probably has a lot of growing left to do. She also has no withers at all and was in a Wintec 2000 saddle with a wide tree arch when I bought her. She was ridden in a french link snaffle and was shod all round.
