Treeless
Saddles
Finally,
a treeless saddle that makes good sense! Years
ago, at a trade show, we studied a similar model. We loved it.
Ridiculously adjustable. Enough substance to work, without binding
the horse or falling down onto spine structure that shouldn't have
the pressures that many treeless saddles have created. But it
would be almost $3000.00 by the time it was imported. We
don't know what became of that original saddle company. Yet, Somehow,
this saddle duplicates all the benefits of that other saddle but
at a more affordable price.
Basically,
multiple layers of saddle worthy material, attached together by heavy
Velcro type fastening, gives enough body to make this saddle work
well. I replaced my bareback pad with this model because of the
extra comfort on my seat!
There
is enough body for it not to "melt" onto the horse's
withers or spine, but enough flexibility to mold to the shape of
your horse's back.
Very
adjustable. The Velcro allows loosening for cleaning and adjusting
to best fit your body & riding style. Actually comes in an English stirrup model as well as
this Western. You just have to ride this manmade material laden
saddle to believe it's comfort.
Non-slip
Tacky-Tack bottom allows air to flow through the comfortable
padding next to your horse.
It
does have stirrups, but plan to use your balance! No tree means it
can and will slip when hard jerks, turns, or bolts happen. Use a
mounting block, or throw your body onto your horse. Dismounting is
best, Indian style: kick your feet out of the stirrups & swing
down.
This
flexes to fit your horse but is different than a flex tree saddle
in that the flex tree has a permanent, not flexing, set angle to the
pommel.
We
had a lady about 6 ft tall and 165 lbs use the saddle for 6 months
or so. She liked it a lot! Rode thin & fat horses with
it. Wear on the saddle was
acceptable. In fact, the saddle pictures here are of the saddle
used for those months, after it was returned to us.

handle is handy for carrying between barn &
horse as well as for a hold while riding. Low

for bwetter saddle positioning. Seat actually

girth straps than we've used. ($40.00
