Treeless Saddles & Bareback Pads
Treeless saddles, also known as flexible panel saddles, are a type of saddle that do not have a rigid tree structure at the core. Instead, they rely on flexible panels and padding to distribute the rider’s weight over the horse's back.
Treeless saddles are designed to provide a close contact feel between the rider and the horse, allowing for increased communication and freedom of movement. They can be made from various materials such as leather, synthetic materials, or a combination of both.
These saddles are popular among trail riders, endurance riders, and those who prefer a more natural riding experience. They can be more comfortable for both the horse and rider, as they conform to the shape of the horse's back and allow for more freedom of movement.
However, it is important to note that treeless saddles may not be suitable for all horses or riders. Some horses may require the additional support and stability provided by a traditional treed saddle. Additionally, riders who require more security and stability may not find treeless saddles to be the best option.
It is recommended to consult with a professional saddle fitter or equine specialist to determine if a treeless saddle is the right choice for you and your horse. Proper fit and balance are crucial to ensure the health and comfort of both horse and rider.
