Barefoot Merlyn Pro Vegitex Dressage Saddle
The Vegitex range by Barefoot is the new range of products made entirely without animal-derived materials. A vegan alternative, in other words. Barefoot has made its most popular saddle models available in Vegitex synthetic leather. The Barefoot Merlyn is one of them.
Compact dressage saddle with a short dressage flap
Monoflap design for close leg contact
Equipped with the Barefoot VPS system for optimal pressure distribution
Low cantle for less pressure on the lower back and greater freedom of movement in the pelvis
V-girth system for a more stable position and a better-fitting girth position on horses and ponies with a rounder belly
Narrower PRO seat than standard Barefoot seats
Slightly adjustable stirrup attachment
Stirrup attachment fitted with hooks instead of rings
Supplied with a size M pommel, which can be replaced with another size if required
Ideal for:
The short dressage flap makes this saddle ideal for riders with shorter legs. The saddle is compact, making it look particularly good on smaller horses and ponies. However, it is also suitable for larger horses when the rider does not have particularly long legs.
Less suitable for:
Riders with long legs.
Colour
Available exclusively in black.
Sizes
Available in Barefoot sizes 1 and 2. Size 1 is suitable for riders up to approximately clothing size 38, while size 2 is suitable from size 38 onwards. For both sizes, the back length of the saddle must also be suitable for your horse or pony.
Delivery
The saddle is supplied without additional accessories, but does include a size M pommel. To use the saddle, you will still need:
Saddle pad with inserts
Stirrup leathers
Stirrups
Dressage girth
Stirrup leathers, girths and, if desired, a bridle are also available in Vegitex.
Vegan
This saddle is completely vegan, as no animal-derived materials have been used. Vegitex is a soft and supple synthetic leather.
