The Barefoot Nottingham is the jumping model of Barefoot treeless saddles!
The Barefoot Nottingham has been specially added to the range for those who engage in intensive riding. It features a specially developed 3-layer VPS® System (exclusive to this model) for extra shock absorption and protection against extreme pressure points that may occur during activities such as jumping. This makes it particularly suitable for riders who spend a lot of time or apply heavy pressure on their stirrups. Due to this additional built-in protection, the saddle does become slightly stiffer, and the close-contact feel is slightly diminished.
Of course, the saddle remains supple enough to properly follow all the movements of the horse and adapt to the horse's changing shape as it builds muscles and burns fat through training... and, of course, it also follows the contours of the horse again after a period of little training.
