Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a flex tree saddle and a traditional rigid tree saddle?
A flex tree saddle allows 4-way movement, distributing weight more evenly across the horse's back and enabling responsive communication between rider and horse. This proprietary flex design accommodates natural motion during trail riding and barrel racing while maintaining stability. Traditional rigid trees offer less movement but different support characteristics. Flex trees are ideal for riders seeking responsive handling and horses that benefit from spinal freedom.
What size horse does this Hilason flex tree saddle fit?
This saddle is designed to fit horses with gullet sizes between 6 to 8 inches, accommodating most quarter horses and gaited breeds. The flex tree's responsive design adapts naturally to different body shapes. If you are unsure of your horse's gullet size, measure at the widest point of the withers or consult a saddle fitter for exact fit confirmation.
Is this saddle handmade?
Yes, all Hilason saddles are hand-crafted one at a time by experienced saddle makers using full grain harness leather and proprietary flex tree technology. Each saddle receives individual attention to construction quality and finish detail, delivering professional-grade craftsmanship without the premium price tag of boutique makers.
Can I use this flex tree saddle for both trail riding and barrel racing?
Yes, the proprietary flex tree is versatile enough for trail riding, barrel racing, pleasure riding, ranch work, and endurance work. The 4-way movement provides responsive handling for tight turns and maneuvers while maintaining the balance and security needed for distance riding. This multi-purpose design makes it ideal for riders who engage in multiple disciplines.
What is included with this saddle purchase?
Your saddle purchase includes the Hilason hand-tooled western flex tree saddle and matching front and rear cinch straps. The cinch straps are complete and ready to attach to your horse. Stirrups are anti-slip design and adjustable for rider leg length. No additional tack is included; you will need a saddle blanket or pad for under the saddle.
How do I care for turquoise roughout leather?
Turquoise roughout leather is full grain harness leather with a textured finish. Clean regularly with a soft brush to remove dust and dirt. Apply leather conditioner monthly to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid prolonged water exposure and store in a cool, dry location. The roughout texture may appear to lighten with age and use, which is normal and part of the character of natural leather.
