She answered my MANY e-mails with questions about the saddles and what would work best for Boomerang and I. In the end I came away with the <a href=\"http:\/\/store.treelesssaddle.com\/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=FF-BTF\" target=\"_blank\">Freeform Classic BTF Treeless Saddle<\/a>, which fits Boomerang amazingly well.<\/p>\n<p>Having been someone who really didn&#8217;t know anything about treeless saddles before this experience I am now convinced this is the only type of saddle that I will ever own again. Not only can I use it on any horse I have from here on out, but I have never had a more comfortable ride. They aren&#8217;t just for endurance riders either! I&#8217;ve been using mine in mounted games, cross country, versatility competitions, and even jumping in it.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2541\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/2012\/02\/01\/sponsor-welcome-saddle-up\/picture-7-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/picture-7.png?fit=400%2C390&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"400,390\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"treeless saddle\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/picture-7.png?fit=400%2C390&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2541\" title=\"treeless saddle\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/picture-7.png?resize=400%2C390\" alt=\"treeless saddle\" width=\"400\" height=\"390\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are thrilled to have Saddle Up as one of our sponsors, and we hope you&#8217;ll check out their <a href=\"http:\/\/treelesssaddle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a> and<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/#!\/saddleuptreelesssaddles\" target=\"_blank\"> facebook<\/a> page to learn more about treeless saddles.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2543\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/2012\/02\/01\/sponsor-welcome-saddle-up\/picture-8-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/picture-8.png?fit=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"400,267\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"boomerang in treeless saddle\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/picture-8.png?fit=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2543\" title=\"boomerang in treeless saddle\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/picture-8.png?resize=400%2C267\" alt=\"boomerang in treeless saddle\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re very excited to welcome our new sponsor, Saddle Up!
