Frequently Asked Questions

What is a flex tree saddle and how is it different from a rigid tree?

The Hilason flex tree uses a full bar design that provides stability while allowing natural movement, making it ideal for trail riding, ranch work, and horses with varied back shapes or gaited breeds.

What horses fit this saddle?
