Those non-slip pads do absolutely nothing in my experience. Maybe you have a very small amount of slipping, but in my experience I have a downhill Pony and the slip pad does nothing

He’s talking about poorly fitting trees. A properly fit tree doesn’t only touch on four corners, the bars all rest on the horses back. So is the treeless better than a proper trees saddle or just bad ones? And then the example of the pony express, that was bad practice, not proof of whether a tree works well or not. Sounds like a sales pitch.

What a load of bunkum....a decent treed saddle will be made on a tree that fits the shape of the horse - we don't just ride in a saddle that doesn't fit the horse. Unfortunately the old analogy of the clog is probably the most ridiculous one ever as the clog was designed to be used all day by people in agriculture, factories and mines and remained unchanged for centuries - don't you think they would have been rejected if they didn't work?

Please provide brand and type of pad

I absolutely love my Blackforest Treeless Shasta and so does my horse. It also amazes me how completely comfortable I am in it no matter how long the trail ride, even after my severe injuries from being hit by a car while walking years ago. Thank you for creating great saddles for horses and riders. 🥰♥️

I have a synthetic saddle I have had for nearly 20 years. It has been on literally hundreds and hundreds of miles of trails. It has been in the Ocean. It has been on the west coast and the east coast. I have never done any maintenance on it. My leather tack is a pain. It molds in the south in the summer. My synthetic does not do this. My synthetic saddle is much easier to maintain and has no tears or scratches. I can't Imagine any branch that could tear my saddle. To me the only reason they made saddles out of leather back in the day was because that is the only material available. To me synthetic is far superior.

Why treeless? I understand those do not protect the horse's spine..... ??

The Gauchos in South America have been useing treeless saddles for centuries.

My horse is all of the above 😩

What is your opinion on flex tree saddles. I’m getting my first horse and I don’t know if I should get a treeless saddle a treed saddle or a flex tree saddle. Thanks

This Shasta Saddle doesn't seem to give the 3 finger wither clearance at the pommel that western saddle should...suggestions to obtain more clearance?

Where do you get that pad

I’ve always ridden in a treeless saddle when I’ve had my own personal horse. I do this because I prefer the closer contact, I feel I don’t feel my horse properly in a treed saddle. But this was a bit of a problem with my previous horse, who had high withers, and even with pads and the saddle I could still feel his spine, which means he felt me sitting in his spine. Fast forward to now, I have a young Appaloosa who is filling out and will have a nice round back. He is almost three, and I’ve never educated a young horse before from scratch. I have no intention of showing or competing him but I’d like him to be educated in the paces and have some refinement. I’ve been lead to believe that treeless saddles are bad for a horse’s back, but after listening to you I’m now wondering if I could actually school him in my treeless saddle. I ride him around and stuff but we haven’t started on the paces. And I thought maybe a post trot would be too hard on his back in a treeless saddle. Im shopping for a treed saddle but frankly it’s very difficult and stressful. I’d appreciate your thoughts ☺️cheers

which saddle is this that you show how it moves?

My synthetic saddle lasted much longer than my leather one.
