Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flex tree saddle and how is it different from a rigid tree?
A flex tree moves with your horse's spine in four directions forward, back, and side to side which reduces pressure on sensitive areas and improves rider communication. The HILASON flex tree is proprietary-designed and gives responsive feedback during barrel turns and trail work, while a rigid tree stays fixed and can create pressure points.
Is this saddle good for barrel racing and trail riding?
Yes. The HILASON Flex Tree saddle is versatile for both. The 4-way flex tree provides responsive movement for tight barrel turns, while the deep cantle and roughout seat offer the stability and all-day comfort needed for long trail rides and endurance events.
What size seat should I choose?
The HILASON Flex Tree comes in 14", 15", 16", and 17" seat sizes. Seat size matches your thigh and seat bone most riders are 15" or 16". Your saddle seller or horse trainer can help you confirm your proper fit. The saddle fits 6 to 8 inch gullet size horses.
Is this saddle handmade?
Yes. Every HILASON Flex Tree saddle is crafted one at a time by experienced saddlemakers using full-grain harness leather and proprietary tree technology. Hand-tooling and finishing ensure each saddle is unique and built to last through years of use.
What leather is used in this saddle?
Full-grain harness leather with hand-tooled floral carving in an antique black finish. Harness leather is top-quality, durable material that ages beautifully and outlasts lower-grade leather. The hand-tooling is both decorative and a sign of real craftsmanship.
Does this saddle come with anything included?
Yes. The HILASON Flex Tree saddle includes matching front and rear cinch straps, so you have everything needed to start riding immediately without buying additional equipment.
