Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a treeless saddle and a traditional western saddle?

A treeless saddle eliminates the rigid wooden tree, allowing 4-way flexible movement that adapts to your horse's back shape. This reduces pressure points, accommodates difficult-to-fit horses, and promotes natural movement and back muscle engagement better than traditional fixed-tree saddles.

Is this Hilason saddle hand-made?

Yes. Each Hilason treeless saddle is hand-made one at a time by experienced craftspeople using full grain harness leather that is hand-tooled and hand-carved with floral design details. This craftsmanship ensures durability and quality at accessible pricing.

What size horses does this treeless saddle fit?

This saddle fits horses with a 6-8 inch gullet size. The treeless design also accommodates horses with high withers, wide shoulders, unusual back conformation, or difficult-to-fit frames that may not fit traditional saddles. Available in 14", 15", 16", and 17" seat sizes.

Can I use this saddle for trail riding and barrel racing?

Yes. The treeless construction and flexible design make this saddle versatile for trail riding, barrel racing, ranch work, pleasure riding, and endurance riding. The purple suede seat provides security in the arena while the lightweight 4-way movement benefits long trail rides.

How do I care for the hand-tooled leather on this saddle?

Clean regularly with a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. Apply leather conditioner monthly to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight. The full grain harness leather develops a rich patina over time with proper care.

Does this saddle come with a cinch?

The saddle includes a matching front cinch strap. A separate saddle cinch (girth) is required for use and is sold separately. The cinch attachment hardware is included and ready for your preferred cinch style.
