The Jonathan Field Freemotion Saddle™ evolved over eight years and more than forty prototypes with input and ideas from three saddle makers and five tree makers. Jonathan and dozens of other riders have tried out various tree angles, seat and stirrup arrangements in its development. As a result, Jonathan's vision has become reality in the form of this top quality, professional grade saddle that allows for comfort and freedom of movement for both horse and rider.
TREE:
The tree of the Freemotion™ Saddle is made of wood with a fibreglass cover. It has been designed with wide-angle, full quarter horse bars, with a flare at the front to allow for freedom of movement in the shoulder. The built-in Ground Seat gives more consistent seat shape in every saddle. The tree also features a recessed area on both top and bottom for the stirrups which allows from closer contact and prevention of pressure to your horse from the stirrup leathers.
SEAT:
The seat is what determines the comfort for the rider. It has been designed to put the rider on a comfortable balance point while maintaining a close contact between you and your horse. The seat has also been built up in order to create a narrow seat for the rider so you won't feel spread out over the wide tree.
MARTIN SADDLERY ADJUSTABLE RIGGING:
The patented, in-skirt adjustable rigging by Martin Saddlery is a fantastic innovation that allows you to set your saddle where you want it quickly and adjust your cinch to Extra-Full, Full Forward, Full or 7/8, allowing the cinch to sit in each horse's natural girth groove while keeping the saddle in the correct placement on the back.
STIRRUPS:
All stirrups on the Freemotion™ Saddle are pre-twisted and set to allow for more rider comfort. The stirrups sit slightly forward, like a performance riding saddle, so when your horse jumps, ducks, slides or spins you are able to keep proper body position. For the more classical equitation, like what Jonathan uses in his shows, the stirrups will freely move directly underneath you to allow for easy alignment of your shoulders, hips and heels.
POMMEL:
The slick-form pommel has been raised and shaved out to allow ample clearance for the narrow, high withered horse.
SIZING:
The Freemotion™ saddle tree comes in one size. While no tree can be designed to fit every horse, this tree is designed to fit a large range of horses. The wide tree with lots of shoulder movement and short rounded skirts will fit well to the short backed, broad shouldered horse. With a little extra padding, the high clearance in the gullet will also fit the narrower, high withered horse. The very wide, mutton withered horse is the hardest horse to fit, and the Freemotion™ saddle will fit that horse only moderately well.
Seat sizes are available in: 15.5″, 16.5″ and 17.5″
Fender lengths are available in: Short, Regular and Long
WEIGHT:
The Freemotion™ saddle weighs 31 pounds. In building the saddle, our goal was to keep it as light as possible without sacrificing strength or quality. The skirt has been cut away and rounded in order to keep the saddle light while also staying out of the way of your horse's hips.

Thank you so much for providing an amazing quality product! My new black Freemotion™ saddle is everything I hoped it would be, and more!
I am just so thrilled with my new saddle and am enjoying setting it on JD's back… It is assisting me to find a better balance and allowing me to learn softer leg communication. Thank you for developing such a wonderful tool for me and my JD.
I had been promising My Sweet Jesse for weeks that we were getting a new saddle. We both hated our old one. I had the privelege of introducing it to her yesterday. What a blast! She had gotten to eye our old saddle with scepticism and even shy away when she saw it. Yesterday she went right over to the Freemotion™, sniffed, nibbled a little on the cantle and stood still as could be while i placed it on…it was soooo comfy for both of us! Kinda like goin' from a Chevy Celebrity to a Mercedes! I am so happy with my purchase… Thanks for making such high quality gear.
This is the nicest saddle I will ever own!! The leather and concho's are beautiful – the saddle looks high quality form top to bottom. It is also (as I knew it would be ) amazing to ride in. I used to ride western a lot but switched to English (for the arena) or endurance (for the trails) a couple of years ago when I found those saddle put me in a better riding position. My western saddle left me with a sore lower back a lot and sore knees on long rides. Jonathan's Freemotion™ saddle puts my leg in a perfect position, like my dressage saddle. The fenders swing nicely making it easy to move my lower leg when needed…and the seat is soft and comfortable. It seems to fit fine on both move horses and they move nicely in it. The equestrian centre where I trailer to for arena work is just up the road. I have a group of riding friends there and several of them have sat in the saddle and now have serious saddle envy. I am trying to sell my old western saddle but it is pretty hard because everyone has seen my new one and wants that one instead!!!
Anyway, thanks for making such a fantastic saddle.
I just wanted to let you know that I love my new saddle! It is so incredibly comfortable and If my horse could talk I'm sure he would say he loved it too !
The McClellan saddle was a riding saddle designed by George B. McClellan, a career Army officer in the U.S. Army, after his tour of Europe as the member of a military commission charged with studying the latest developments in engineer and cavalry forces including field equipment.[1] Based on his observations, McClellan proposed a design that was adopted by the Army in 1859.[1] The McClellan saddle was a success and continued in use in various forms until the US Army's last horse cavalry and horse artillery was dismounted late in World War II. Today, the McClellan saddle is used by ceremonial mounted units in the US Army. The saddle was used by several other nations, including Rhodesia and Mexico, and to a degree by the British in the Boer War. The saddle came in various seat sizes that predominantly ranged from approximately 11 to 12 ½ inches.[2]
Origin and development[edit]
In April 1855, six years before the start of the Civil War, Captain George B. McClellan sailed to Europe as part of a military commission to study developments in European tactics, weaponry, and logistics. McClellan's focus was the organization of engineer troops and cavalry. After the one-year tour, during which time McClellan observed several battles of the Crimean War, McClellan brought back almost 100 books and manuals. These he read before writing his report, which concluded with his proposed manual for American cavalry adapted from existing Russian cavalry regulations. He also proposed a cavalry saddle that he claimed was a modification of a Hungarian model used in the Prussian service. The saddle was almost certainly a modification of the Spanish tree saddle in common use in Mexico during this period, and which had become common in some parts of the US.
The McClellan saddle was adopted by the US War Department in 1859 and remained standard issue, in various models, for the remaining history of the horse cavalry. The original M1859 version was the form used during the Civil War, and the design saw subsequent modifications. The saddle always remained recognizable as McClellan's design, which included cavalry and artillery models. In addition, a model for packers was introduced as the M1913.
Confederate variants in the Civil War[edit]
During the American Civil War, many Confederate cavalrymen provided their own horses and civilian saddles. In time, the Confederacy issued the Jenifer saddle. But when Southerners' horses grew thin because of inadequate food supply, the Jenifer saddle became painful to the bony withers of the horses. In 1863, the Confederate army issued the lighter and better-contoured McClellan saddle to its cavalry. Because leather was scarce in the South during the Civil War, many of the McClellan saddles had skirts of painted canvas. The Confederate Army also used some British saddles as well.
Influences on McClellan's design[edit]
The design was based on the Spanish tree saddles in wide use in the United States at the time, and which had seen US Army use, although McClellan claimed that it was based on Hussar saddles he'd observed in use in the Crimean War. While McClellan did go overseas and observe the Crimean War for the US, the saddle does not closely duplicate any pattern in use by the armies in that conflict, but is very close to the widely used Spanish tree saddle, which was originally a saddle in common use in Mexico. The design underwent modifications over time, although in many ways it remained remarkably unchanged. The saddle was simple and less expensive than existing saddles, light enough not to burden the horse, but sturdy enough to give good support to the rider and his gear. It supported a rawhide-covered open seat, a thick leather skirt, wooden stirrups, and a girth strap of woolen yarn.[1] Added accessories to the saddle sometimes included a nose bag for horse feed, a curry comb to groom the horse, a picket pin and lariat to tether the horse while grazing, saddlebags, and a 'thimble' that held the muzzle of the cavalryman's carbine. The McClellan saddle was placed on top of a saddlecloth, shabrack, or saddle blanket.
Service and rivals in the US Army[edit]
As noted above, the McClellan saddle served, and has continued to serve, for an extraordinarily long time in the U.S. Army. The saddle has been in uninterrupted use since 1859.
The saddle did see some modification over time. Perhaps the most significant alterations occurred in the 20th Century, when the rigging was changed twice. The first time, an adjustable rigging was adopted, leading to the M1904 McClellan. That pattern is the most common of all McClellan saddles, and continued in use throughout World War I and World War II.
However, increased emphasis on equitation in the US Army also lead to the M1928, which was an M1904 with English rigging and fenders. This variant, the final one in US service, fit closer than other McClellan saddles, and is still used by the US Army in ceremonial uses.
The saddle, while passing the test of time, was not without its rivals or critics. The first significant challenger was the Whitman saddle, named after a former US Army officer who designed it. The Whitman had many of the McClellan's features and is often mistaken for the McClellan. While not supplanting it, it was approved for use by officers and remained an approved officers' saddle throughout World War I. In later years, it incorporated so many McClellan features that it became known as the 'Whitman-McClellan.'
In the 20th Century, a serious effort was made to replace the McClellan through tests of the US Army's M1912 equipments. The M1912 saddle proved to be unsuccessful in the Punitive Expedition, but it demonstrated a great departure from the McClellan design, resembling in some ways the British Universal Pattern saddle. Subsequently, the Army tested the M1917 saddle, but it was not adopted.
Enormous quantities of M1904 McClellans were purchased by the US Army in World War I, effectively preventing any new saddle from being adopted for general use for decades. The US Army did approve a saddle of the English saddle type prior to World War I for officers, and after the war approved another, with the adoption of the Philip's saddle for officers.
The slick-form pommel has been raised and shaved out to allow ample clearance for the narrow, high withered horse.

Use and service outside the United States[edit]
Worlds Lots Daruma Fields Saddlery Coupon
The saddle also saw considerable civilian use, and was made for civilian sales by a variety of manufacturers. It was widely used in the United States by mounted policemen. It was adopted by Mexico, in a Mexican-made version, for their army. At least some were sold to the Dominion forces in the Boer War, and the North-West Mounted Police in Canada obtained at least a few for test purposes. The saddle was adopted by Rhodesia in the 1970s for use by the Grey's Scouts. South Africa used some quantities for mounted game wardens in the 1980s in South West Africa.
Legacy and continued use[edit]
While the McClellan saddle was not perfect and had critics, it was one of the most enduring military saddles of all time, rivaled only by the British Universal Pattern saddle in its longevity. The saddle was used by every branch of the US Army, the US Marine Corps, and was widely used by mounted police units throughout the US.

The McClellan saddle continues to be made in the US, and was used by endurance riders at one time. It is made for use as a pleasure saddle for those few who like it for that purpose, and as a saddle for historical reenactors.
