Way back in the year 1990, Camillo Cavallin acquired his name as one of the original designers of the modern-day treeless saddles, including the Torsion saddles. From the start, Camillo made it his mission to turn an ancient principal into contemporary saddles that put the comfort and welfare of horse and rider first. Over the years, his continuous research and development of the highly acclaimed GHOST saddles earned him a remarkable reputation. Still the leading light at GHOST, he has now dedicated his name to his personal twenty-first century brand of treeless saddles; the CAVALLIN range. We are proud to supply both GHOST and CAVALLIN Treeless Saddles, handmade in Italy.

Ghost Italian Treeless Saddles

​Ghost Treeless Saddles from Italy. Featuring a lovely choice of leathers with a well thought-out design, Ghost is a treeless saddle that is highly adjustable. Ghost features a carbon-fiber base which stirrups and girthing are hung from for great weight distribution, with pressure distributing panels that velcro onto the bottom for custom spinal clearance. The seat is cushioned and has the option of knee blocks for a secure seat, and puts the rider in a good, aligned position, while featuring a very nice twist. The billets can be adjusted forward or behind depending on where your horse's girth groove is and there are two stirrup positions. With great wither and spinal clearance, the Ghost saddle is also very lightweight and an excellent and well made saddle for the price!

The New Classics Ghost range feature positionable knee blocks, secured under a stylish double flap. Choose from angled, straight or flat blocks which velcro on or off. Classics come with the hidden pommel style.
All prices are in New Zealand Dollars and include import fees & shipping into NZ, as well as international fund transfers. Saddles are custom ordered in with a wait time of around 5 - 8 weeks.

Cavallin Treeless Saddles

CAVALLIN Treeless Saddles, designers and manufacturers of the innovative Ghost treeless saddle, are proud to introduce the first treeless saddle in this new range, the Crusader. The design and features of the Crusader will delight lovers of treeless saddles. It will inspire riders looking for solutions to fitting and comfort problems often found with treed saddles. The adjustable stirrup straps attach to a velcro pad that can be moved backwards or forwards under the saddle seat in order for the rider to find the most comfortable position for their riding style. The comfort of the horse is paramount and to this end, both saddles have thick adjustable panels to lift the saddle off the spine and provide wither clearance. In order to further protect the horse's back during heavier stirrup use or riding in a two point seat, the stirrup straps have the option of being attached to buckles at the bottom of the saddle flaps, thereby spreading the load between two areas.

*Please Note ~ While treeless saddles offer many benefits when it comes to saddle fitting & riding, please note they do have a limit in that they have a maximum rider weight of around 85kgs, and need to be used with a specialized saddle pad.  If you are over this weight but balanced and have a healthy backed horse, please contact us to discuss options. Very high withered horses are generally not suitable and those with wither pockets are not suitable.*
