September 16, 2025My Free Rider Saddles: Designed for Horses and Riders
Hi everyone,
I’m Alycia, and I want to share a little bit about something very close to my heart—my Free Rider Saddles. Every saddle I create isn’t just about riding; it’s about connection, trust, and giving both horse and rider freedom to move together.
Why I Make My Saddles
I’ve been riding since I was 11, starting with difficult ponies and learning how to communicate with every horse I meet. Over the years, I realized that the right saddle can make an incredible difference—not just for performance, but for the bond between horse and rider. That’s why I designed the Free Rider range: to give you a saddle that’s flexible, safe, and comfortable for both you and your horse.
Meet the Collection
Free Rider ‘Elite’ Jumping Saddle – My personal favourite for over 12 years. Perfect for jumping, cross-country, dressage, or trail riding. Soft calfskin, light wooden tree, and fully customizable.
Free Rider ‘Classic’ Jumping Saddle – Narrower twist, shorter flap, soft panels for a closer feel. Great for riders who want maximum contact and freedom for their horse.
Free Rider ‘Aira’ Dressage Saddle – Mono-flap, deep seat, large knee blocks. Designed for dressage movements while keeping you balanced and connected.
Free Rider ‘Falkor’ Dressage Saddle – Combines traditional design with modern comfort for both horse and rider.
Free Rider ‘Vigari’ Trail Saddle – Long-distance riding made easy. Comfortable, durable, and reliable for every adventure.
I also offer additional gear like the Free Rein and Bareback Converter to make learning bareback riding safer and more effective—perfect for working with young or sensitive horses.
Customization & Orders
Every saddle is custom-made to suit your horse and your riding style. You can choose flap size, colour, and other details to make it perfect. After purchase, I’ll contact you directly to make sure everything fits just right.

Happy riding,
Alycia
