Hilason Treeless Western Saddle - Hand Tooled Leather Trail Saddle

This treeless western saddle from Hilason puts a close contact ride under you without a rigid tree standing between you and your horse. The skirting is full grain harness leather, hand tooled and carved with a floral pattern in a hand finished antique tan color with inlay. Because the panels flex instead of holding a fixed shape, this western trail saddle settles onto the back rather than pressing two hard bars into it. Available in the hand finished antique tan colorway shown to suit every style.

Why a Treeless Western Saddle Rides Differently

• Full grain harness leather skirting, hand tooled and carved - each saddle is hand made one at a time, so tooling depth and finish vary slightly from one to the next.
• No rigid tree means the saddle conforms to the back, which is why riders reach for it on high withered, wide shouldered or hard to fit horses.
• The 14 inch black rough out leather seat grips without locking the hips, and the 4.5 inch cantle gives you something to sit into on a downhill stretch.
• At roughly 26 lbs, this western horse saddle is lighter than a comparable treed saddle - easier to lift onto a tall horse at the start of a long day.

Best For Trail Riding, Endurance Miles and Pleasure Riding

• Weekend trail riding, overnight camping trips and long endurance miles where pressure points show up fastest.
• Pleasure riding and arena schooling, plus light barrel work and ranch chores around the barn.
• Riders building a first western saddle collection, and owners with several horses who need one saddle that fits them all.
• Horses in the 6 to 8 inch gullet range, including those with unusual conformation that a treed saddle rubs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Hilason treeless saddle made of genuine leather?

Yes. The skirting on this treeless western saddle is full grain harness leather, hand tooled and carved with a floral pattern and finished in an antique tan color with inlay. Each saddle is hand made one at a time, so tooling depth and finish shading vary slightly from saddle to saddle. The seat is black rough out leather.

Will a treeless western saddle fit a horse with high withers or wide shoulders?

Treeless saddles are usually the easier fit. With no rigid bars pressing on the back, the panels on this western trail saddle mold to high withered, wide shouldered and unusually shaped horses. Hilason lists it for horses in the 6 to 8 inch gullet range, so measure your horse's gullet before ordering.

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

It is built primarily for trail, pleasure and endurance riding, which is where the flexible panel design earns its keep. Riders also use it for light barrel work, arena schooling and ranch chores. For faster speed events, a contoured saddle pad helps spread weight and protect the back.

What comes with this western horse saddle and do I need to buy cinches separately?

Matching front and rear cinch straps are included with the saddle, so you do not need to buy those separately. You will still supply your own saddle pad and girth. The saddle runs about 26 lbs with a 14 inch seat, a 4.5 inch cantle and a 24 inch skirt.

Is this saddle handmade and how do I care for the tooled leather?

Every Hilason saddle is hand made one at a time and the tooling on this one is hand carved, so small variations in depth and finish are normal. Wipe off dust and sweat with a damp cloth after riding, dry the leather away from direct heat, and condition it a few times a season to keep the tooling supple.

How much does this treeless western saddle weigh?

It weighs approximately 26 lbs, which is lighter than most comparably sized treed western saddles. The lighter build comes from leaving out the wooden or synthetic tree, and it makes the saddle easier to lift onto a tall horse or carry between stalls. Skirt length is 24 inch and the cantle stands 4.5 inch.
