Frequently Asked Questions

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

A treeless saddle has no rigid wooden or synthetic tree structure, allowing it to flex and conform to your horse's back shape. This reduces pressure points, promotes natural movement and shoulder freedom, and accommodates horses with challenging conformation that struggle with traditional treed saddles. Treeless designs are lighter and ideal for trail riding and long-distance work.

Can this treeless saddle be used for trail riding or is it only for barrel racing?

This Hilason treeless saddle is excellent for trail riding, ranch work, endurance, and pleasure riding. The flexible design and comfort make it ideal for all-day trail use where unrestricted movement matters. It provides the versatility needed across multiple western riding disciplines.

What horses does this saddle fit?

This saddle fits horses with 6 to 8 inch gullet size. The treeless construction is particularly advantageous for horses hard to fit with conventional saddles, including those with high withers, wide shoulders, or unusual back shapes. Its flexible design adapts to individual horse anatomy.

Is this saddle hand-made and what material is the leather?

Yes, each Hilason treeless saddle is hand-crafted one at a time by skilled leatherworkers. The leather is top-quality full grain harness leather, hand-tooled with a mahogany finish and decorated with silver conchos. This harness leather is durable, supple, and built to last through seasons of hard use.

How much does this treeless saddle weigh and why is that important?

This saddle weighs approximately 21 lbs, making it significantly lighter than most traditional treed western saddles. The lighter weight reduces fatigue during long trail rides and endurance work, making it easier to mount and handle daily. It's especially beneficial for riders who cover extended distances.

What is included with this saddle and what should I purchase separately?

The saddle includes a matching front cinch strap. You will need to purchase a back cinch separately if desired. The listed size refers to gullet fit (6-8 inches); available width options are 14", 15", and 16" to match different rider and horse needs.
