Treeless Saddles

Author: fronteques

Treeless Saddles     Saddles with no trees have been around for a few years now. They are available from 6 or 8 makers and they are all very similar in design and construction. Treeless Saddles typically have a small insert in the cantle and the pommel to allow the saddle to keep it’s shape and to give it support.

    Since treeless saddles conform to the shape of the horse’s back and the pressure from the saddle is widely distributed the treeless saddles are ideal for use on most draft horses.

These saddles allow you to feel the horse better.  They also keep the rider very secure in the seat.    They also come in a variety of colors and some are made in leather and others are made of synthetic materials more suitable for endurance events where the saddle will get wet.
