Cavallin Treeless

Hidden pommel, smooth seat skirt, stirrup anchor and girth rigging integrated into flap for excellent weight distribution across the length of the saddle.
The innovation to distribute weight through the flaps across the length of the saddle was made by Torsion (also designed by Camillo Cavallin) years ago and popularized in the US and Canada through Sensation saddles.

This model is a combination of the Heritage and Crusader (my personal favorite bits of each!) and with the flap moved back 1.5". This is to correspond with me using the rear stirrup ring and having short legs so the Cavallin models aren't ideal for me. This worked great for my mare who dislikes moving legs - excellent stability!

The Cavallin line of bareback pads are nothing short of amazing. For those who are familiar with Christ BBPs, this has similar features, but adds a more substantial cantle and an adjustable stirrup ring. Rider stability is excellent and rather than having to reach for a one-size-fits-all stirrup position, it's right there when you need it. There are also panel inserts to protect the spine. The Mandriana Quaddro is made with gorgeous long fiber sheepskins and has a square flap. The bottom wool layer can be removed for easy cleaning. I've tested this BBP with a pressure sensor pad and while it's still recommended as a BBP, not meant for constant stirrup use, the weight distribution is excellent even with light stirrup use.

The Mandriana Rotondo is made with gorgeous long fiber sheepskins and has a round flap. The bottom wool layer can be removed for easy cleaning.

Similar to the Quaddro underneath, the Toscana is for those who don't prefer the long fiber sheepskin. Suede is a fun alternative with many, many color options. You can also choose no block, external velcro block, or a velcro block beneath the main flap. Blocks can be added as an additional cost.

The Cavallin Puro has a minimalistic seat/flap design, giving the rider freedom for seat and leg position. 

This model is an excellent choice for Endurance riders who must have a free and open seat, or people who value versatility and freedom of movement that knee blocks and thigh blocks might restrict.

It's extremely lightweight, weighing in under 10 pounds!

The Puro attracts horse owners who want a very light saddle with an open seat similar to a bareback pad- but want to ride longer, faster, or harder than a traditional bareback pad allows.

The girthing system for the Puro has been widened with a triangular attachment; two straps attached wide to the saddle's base, narrowing to an angled strap protector, which can be positioned up and down your horse's barrel to customize to the needs of the horse even for horse's with difficult conformation or motion.

It has a low, virtually unnoticeable profile under the rider's legs, which additionally improves stability in the open seat saddles.  

Test rides conducted in Poland proved that this created a closer contact with the horse, a very stable saddle with lots of scope for the rider.

Fitting the Puro showed it remained versatile to Draft horses, Arabians, and Warmbloods, and the new girthing system aided rider safety and security in the saddle, even without thigh blocks.

Rider Feedback: "This was our fastest ride ever! Main test horses felt so secure with his rider that he was faster and more athletic than he had ever been before. I felt secure and safe the whole time, even without thigh blocks, which I normally love!"

The Cavallin Puro Plus maintains the same minimalistic seat/flap design as the Puro but with a slightly longer flap to include the added security of thigh blocks. 

It's an excellent choice for Endurance riders.

Looking for a deep seat? Fabulous security? The Buttera is available as either a regular Ghost saddle or a Cavallin Bareback Pad. Note - the deep seat has a slightly smaller feel, so you may want to consider going up a seat size.

This model is popular for arena riding, trail and endurance. It is an excellent choice if you have a young or unpredictable horse and would prefer to stay put when your horse spooks. A western skirt and/or fenders can be added for saddle stability or to change saddle's look.

The blocks are attached inside a pocket under the knee-roll, and can be removed.

This saddle can be set up with either English or Western rigging.

This model can be ordered with a 4cm higher cantle, making it a Buttera Maxxi, which offers even more security than the standard Buttera. The Buttera Maxxi is priced at $1450 and looks like the saddle knights used for jousting!


Customer comment!
If you're not getting any younger (check) joints getting a bit creaky (check) or simply the owner of a very silly horse with an overdeveloped sense of humor (check, check, check) then this saddle is for you. It is the most secure saddle I have ever sat on, or rather in, as it embraces you like an armchair. If your beloved equine slams on the brakes because a stone has moved since the last time you rode this path - no problem. If he/she goes from 0-30 due to a pheasant ambush, again, no problem, you are held by the large pommel in front and the high cantle behind. I truly believe it to be the most secure saddle on the market today and am delighted to own one.

Here's a perfect saddle for youngsters! The Ghost Mini has the base and integrated pad of the Bareback Pad models but a seat styled after the standard Ghost models. The seat measures 12" from pommel to cantle
The stirrup hanger is velcro so can be adjusted as your child grows.
For an even smaller and more secure option for toddlers, check out the Buttera Vittorio, which was designed specifically for the maker's grandson!
