Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flex tree western saddle and how is it different from a traditional saddle?
A flex tree western saddle features a tree that moves with your horse's shoulders and back rather than remaining rigid. The HILASON flex tree has 4-way movement forward, backward, and side-to-side which allows better communication between rider and horse, reduces pressure points, and provides responsive performance for trail riding and pleasure work.
Is this saddle handmade?
Yes. Every HILASON saddle is built one saddle at a time by skilled craftspeople using traditional saddle-making techniques combined with quality materials. The full grain harness leather is hand-tooled and finished individually, which is why each saddle has its own character.
What sizes are available and how do I know which one fits my horse?
This saddle is available in 14 inch, 15 inch, 16 inch, and 17 inch seat sizes. The size refers to the length of the seat from the front pommel to the back cantle. Measure your horse's gullet width (the space between the shoulder blades just behind the withers). This HILASON flex tree fits horses with 6 to 8 inch gullet sizes. If you are unsure, consult with a saddle fitter or contact us with your horse's measurements.
What is this saddle best used for?
The HILASON flex tree western saddle is ideal for trail riding, pleasure riding, and endurance work. The responsive 4-way movement and secure deep cantle make it comfortable for long hours in the saddle. While it can be used for various riding disciplines, it is specifically designed and tested for trail and pleasure riding applications.
Is this genuine leather and how should I care for it?
Yes, this saddle is made from full grain harness leather, which is premium-quality genuine leather designed to withstand hard use. To care for it, clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt, apply leather conditioner occasionally to prevent cracking, and store in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Hand-tooled leather develops a beautiful patina over time with regular use and care.
What does the saddle include and what is the weight?
The HILASON flex tree saddle comes complete with matching front and rear cinch straps and weighs approximately 25 pounds. The weight is balanced to distribute load evenly across your horse's back without excessive burden on long trail rides.
