Traditional saddles are built with a tree made from wood, fiberglass, rawhide, or steel. The theory is that the tree spreads the weight evenly across the horse's back. Unfortunately treed saddles also cause pressure point soreness, pinching, and behavior problems due to pain. It can be very costly and time consuming to find a treed saddle that fits. When you do it will fit that horse and likely will not give proper fit to the other horses in your barn. Changes in the horse's weight or conditioning can alter saddle fit and you are back to square one, looking again for the elusive saddle that fits.


Why ride a treeless saddle? Three key factors are fit, comfort, and versatility. Finding a saddle to fit your horse can be like finding a needle in a haystack. Couple with this that in most instances a saddle that has been ridden in is not returnable, and you don't know if you have a good fit until you ride in the saddle! I know people that have gone through ten or twelve saddles trying to find a good fit for their horse. No sooner do they get settled in and the horse's condition or weight changes and they are looking again, or their horse is developing pressure sores or behavioral problems related to saddle fit. The treeless saddle solves this fitting issue. Your horse can gain weight or lose weight and the saddle still fits. Often a treeless saddle will fit multiple horses in the same barn, making the treeless an excellent choice for those on limited budgets needing a saddle that will serve double duty and multiple purposes.


Ever ridden in a treed saddle and have your seat bonesbegin to hurt after just a few miles? Or ride out on a nice trail only to have your horse become cranky after an hour or so? The treed saddle that is comfortable for you, may not be comfortable for your horse either. Comfort for your horse is equally as important as comfort for you. The treeless saddles are made of soft and pliable materials that cushion the horse's back and your behind! You can also add soft wool seat covers that cushion your butt to a new form of bliss. The treeless saddle is light weight, some as light as eight pounds vs. 26 pounds + for a treed saddle. Your horse will carry a lighter load on his back and spine area, and you will save your back from lugging around a heavy treed saddle.


How versatile is your treed saddle? Most are suitable for one or more uses, or disciplines. Versatility is an important issue with an expensive saddle purchase. The treeless saddles are versatile saddles. They do double duty as trail saddles, barrel racing, endurance, and dressage saddles. These can be purchased in styles that appear English, Western, and Customized Hybrid styles of saddles. The custom saddles can be ordered in a rainbow shade of colors or traditional colors and styles.

Other important factors to consider are that some treeless saddle distributors will allow you to pre-ride one of their saddles for a nominal fee. Sometimes they will take this fee off the purchase price of a new saddle when you return the demo in good condition. Treeless saddles may not be a good choice if you are a heavy weight rider (over 200 lbs.) or if you do not have good natural balance or riding ability.
Most manufacturers of treeless saddles recommend that you use a mounting block rather than mounting from the ground to avoid saddle slippage and undue stress on the horse's spine. Treeless saddles can be used on multiple breeds of horses of different type and conformation.
