Frequently Asked Questions

What is a treeless saddle and why would I use one instead of a traditional saddle?

A treeless saddle has no rigid wooden or synthetic tree frame, allowing it to flex and conform to your horse's back. This design reduces pressure points, improves shoulder freedom, and distributes your weight more evenly. Treeless saddles are ideal for trail riding, endurance events, and horses with difficult conformation like high withers or wide shoulders.

Is this Hilason saddle made by hand and what material is it?

Yes, this saddle is handmade one at a time by skilled craftspeople. It is constructed from genuine full grain harness leather with hand-tooled floral carving in antique dark brown. Full grain harness leather is top quality material that is durable and built to last through seasons of hard use.

What does four-way flex mean and how does it help my horse?

Four-way flex refers to the saddle's ability to flex forward, backward, and side-to-side as your horse moves. This flexibility minimizes restrictions on shoulder movement, enables better back muscle engagement, and allows your horse to express its natural gait with an expanded range of motion.

Will this treeless saddle fit my horse if it has an unusual back shape?

Yes, this treeless saddle is one of the best options for horses that are hard to fit in traditional saddles. Since it is not restricted by a fixed tree structure, it can adapt and mold to different back shapes, making it suitable for horses with high withers, wide shoulders, or unusual conformation.

What is included with this Hilason treeless saddle?

This saddle comes complete with a matching hand-tooled leather bridle, collar, front and rear cinch straps, and leather-covered stirrups. Everything you need to ride is included in the set.

What sizes and gullet measurements does this saddle fit?

This treeless saddle fits horses with a 6 to 8-inch gullet size. It features a 4.5-inch cantle and 25-inch skirt length, weighing approximately 26 lbs. The treeless design adapts to many horse shapes within this gullet range.
