Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a treeless saddle different from a traditional western saddle?

A treeless saddle eliminates the rigid wooden or synthetic tree frame, instead using flexible construction that adapts to your horse's unique back shape. This reduces pressure points, minimizes shoulder restriction, and allows better engagement of the horse's back muscles. Treeless saddles are particularly valuable for horses with high withers, wide shoulders, or conformation that doesn't fit conventional saddles well.

What sizes does this Hilason treeless saddle come in?

This saddle is available in 14 inch, 15 inch, 16 inch, and 17 inch seat sizes. The gullet fits 6 to 8 inch horses, accommodating medium to wide-backed horses. Size refers to the seat depth from cantle to saddle horn.

Is this saddle suitable for trail riding and barrel racing?

Yes. The treeless design makes it ideal for trail riding due to its flexibility and comfort, while the deep 5-inch cantle and rough-out seat provide the security and grip needed for barrel racing. Many riders use treeless saddles for both disciplines, as well as western pleasure and endurance riding.

Is this a handmade saddle?

Yes. Each Hilason treeless saddle is handmade one at a time by skilled leather workers. The hand-tooled basketweave pattern is applied by hand, and the saddle is crafted using top quality full grain harness leather sourced for durability. This handmade construction means each saddle develops its own character with use.
