Frequently Asked Questions

What is a treeless saddle and how does it differ from a western saddle with a tree?

A treeless saddle eliminates the rigid wooden or synthetic frame found in traditional saddles, instead using flexible materials that adapt to your horse's back shape. This allows 4-way movement, reduces pressure points, and promotes natural movement. Treeless saddles work especially well for horses with high withers, wide shoulders, or unusual conformation that standard saddles struggle to fit.

What sizes are available for this Hilason treeless saddle?

This Hilason treeless western saddle is available in 13 inch, 14 inch, 15 inch, 17 inch, and 18 inch sizes. The saddle fits 6 to 8-inch gullet horses. If you are unsure which size fits your horse, consult your saddle fitter or measure your horse's gullet with a saddle gauge.

Is this saddle suitable for trail riding?

Yes. The Hilason treeless saddle is ideal for trail riding, pleasure riding, and endurance work. The flexible tree-free design reduces shoulder restriction, allows horses to engage their back muscles more effectively, and minimizes pressure points during extended rides. The lightweight construction at 21 lbs also reduces fatigue on long trail trips.

What is the leather made from and how do I care for it?

This saddle is made from full grain harness leather with a hand-tooled mahogany finish. To care for it, wipe down with a damp cloth after rides to remove sweat and dirt. Use leather conditioner every 3 to 6 months to maintain suppleness. Avoid prolonged water exposure and store in a dry location. The hand-tooled design will develop a natural patina over time.

Is this saddle hand-made?

Yes. All Hilason saddles are hand-made one at a time by skilled craftsmen. This makes each saddle unique while ensuring consistent quality and attention to detail. Hand-made construction also means the saddle can be more carefully fitted to deliver superior comfort for both rider and horse.

What does the treeless saddle come with?

The saddle includes a matching front cinch strap for immediate use. It features anti-slip stirrups, a black rough-out seat, and a deep 5-inch cantle. The saddle weighs 21 lbs and has approximately 25-inch skirts.
