Frequently Asked Questions

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

A treeless saddle has a flexible frame instead of rigid wooden or synthetic tree bars.

Treeless saddles are lighter, more comfortable for horses hard to fit, and ideal for trail riding and barrel racing without sacrificing stability.
