Frequently Asked Questions

What is a treeless saddle and how is it different from a traditional western saddle?

A treeless saddle eliminates the rigid wooden or synthetic tree bars found in traditional saddles. This flexible construction allows the saddle to adapt to your horse's unique back shape, reduce pressure points, and permit natural shoulder movement.

Yes. This treeless saddle is purpose-built for trail riding, ranch work, and endurance use. The flexible design promotes natural movement and gait expression, reducing fatigue for both horse and rider on long rides. The deep 5-inch cantle and approximately 25-inch skirt provide the stability needed for varied terrain and working situations.

Available in 14", 15", 16", and 17" to suit every rider. The saddle fits horses with 6 to 8 inch gullet sizes. Choose your size based on your typical riding seat preference and horse conformation.

How much does the HILASON treeless western saddle weigh?

This treeless saddle weighs approximately 21 lbs, making it one of the lightest western saddle options available. The absence of a rigid tree contributes to the reduced weight, making it ideal for riders who prefer less burden during extended trail use or endurance riding.
