Frequently Asked Questions
What is the flex tree and how does it differ from a rigid tree?
The flex tree is a proprietary HILASON design with 4-way movement that adapts to your horse's back shape. Unlike rigid trees, it flexes laterally and vertically, reducing pressure on the withers, improving rider balance, and allowing better communication with your horse during trail riding and barrel racing.
Can this barrel racing saddle be used for trail riding?
Yes. The flex tree design with 4-way movement makes this saddle versatile for barrel racing, trail riding, western pleasure, and ranch work. The secure roughout seat and deep cantle adapt to multiple disciplines.
Is this saddle handmade?
Yes. Each HILASON saddle is built one at a time by skilled craftsmen using hand-tooling and hand-finishing techniques. This individual construction ensures quality and durability while maintaining competitive pricing.
What size should I order?
HILASON flex tree saddles are available in 14", 15", 16", and 17" seat sizes. Measure from the back of the saddle horn to the front edge of the cantle while sitting in the saddle. If between sizes, most riders choose the smaller size for a more secure fit.
What type of leather is used?
All HILASON saddles use top quality full grain harness leather. This material resists wear, develops character over time, and requires only basic care to maintain its appearance and function through seasons of hard use.
Does this saddle come with cinch straps?
Yes. This saddle includes matching front and rear cinch straps, so you have everything needed to saddle up right away.
