Hello!  My name is Melissa, I'm the owner of Freedom Treeless Saddles.  I have a varied background with horses- my experience includes formal instruction in dressage, hunt seat, and jumping from both American and European instructors, competition in a wide variety of disciplines including dressage, equitation, and competitive trail.  I've participated in cattle drives, trail rides, clinics on all sorts of disciplines and topics, and about the only disciplines I've never tried my hand at are cutting, reining, and barrel racing- although if given the chance I'd try those, too!

Currently I am competing my TWH mare in NATRC Competitive Trail Rides.  I live on a small farm in Georgia with my husband, where we have 3 horses, several dogs and cats, and an assortment of farm animals.
