Western Horse Saddle American Leather Treeless Trail Pleasure Hilason
Hilason Treeless Western Saddle - Hand Tooled Black Leather
The Hilason treeless western saddle pairs a hand tooled and carved black finish with the close contact feel riders want on long days in the hills. With no rigid tree inside, this western trail saddle molds to the shape of your horse's back instead of asking the horse to fit a fixed frame. Every saddle is hand made one at a time in full grain harness leather, so the tooling, the rough out leather seat and the leather covered stirrups are finished by hand rather than stamped out on a production line.
Why a Treeless Western Saddle Moves With Your Horse
- No rigid bars means less restriction on shoulder movement, so the horse can engage its back muscles and hold a more natural gait.
- Weight spreads across a wider contact area, easing the pressure points that build under a saddle that bridges or rocks.
- Full grain harness leather with a black rough out seat, a 4.5 inch cantle and a 25 inch skirt length - a traditional western profile on a flexible platform.
- At roughly 26 lbs, it carries less weight than a comparable treed saddle, which counts over long distances.
Best For Trail Riding, Pleasure Riding and Endurance Miles
- Trail riders covering rough country who want a saddle that follows the horse over varied ground.
- Pleasure and endurance riders logging long hours who want a close feel and a lighter rig.
- Horses that are hard to fit - high withers, wide shoulders or an unusual back shape - where a fixed tree keeps bridging or rocking.
- New horse owners building a first western saddle setup who want one saddle that adapts as the topline changes with conditioning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a treeless western saddle?
Yes. This Hilason saddle is a true treeless western saddle, built without a rigid wood or synthetic tree. The full grain harness leather platform flexes with the horse, spreads weight across a wider area and eases pressure points. With no rigid bars, it molds to the shape of the back instead of holding one fixed shape.
What size horse will this treeless saddle fit?
The saddle is listed to fit 6 to 8 inch gullet horses. Because there is no fixed tree, the platform adapts to a range of back shapes, including horses with high withers, wide shoulders or unusual conformation that are hard to fit with a traditional western saddle. Measure your horse's gullet before ordering.
Can I use this saddle for trail riding and endurance?
Yes. The treeless western saddle is designed for trail riding, pleasure riding and endurance miles. Without rigid bars, the horse's shoulder has more room to move, which supports a natural gait and a fuller range of motion over long ground. It weighs approximately 26 lbs, lighter than most treed saddles.
Is the leather on this saddle genuine?
The saddle is built from full grain harness leather, hand tooled and carved in a black finish across the skirt. It has a black rough out leather seat and leather covered stirrups. Each one is hand made one at a time, so tooling detail and finish can vary slightly from saddle to saddle.
What comes with the saddle?
Included are matching front and rear cinch straps. The saddle has a black rough out leather seat, a 4.5 inch cantle, leather covered stirrups and a 25 inch skirt length, and weighs approximately 26 lbs. Check the specifications list above for the complete details before ordering.
How do I care for a hand tooled leather saddle?
Wipe the tooled leather with a soft damp cloth after riding, let it dry away from direct heat, then apply a conditioner made for harness leather. Brush the rough out seat rather than oiling it so it keeps its grip. Store the saddle on a rack with the stirrups run up to protect the leathers.
