Our trees are hand made without machinery. We use a wooden tree, wrapped in rawhide and sun cured. The bars follow the shape of a gaited horse's back. A "trotting horse" uses a tree with a "twist" in the bars to follow its back shape. Gaited horses do not have a back that needs a twist in the saddle. Here are pictures of the gaited horse trees for our western style and our tereque style saddles. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge the picture. Our saddles are guaranteed for THREE years under normal use. Abuse voids the warranty. The bottom set of photos is our tree with a trotting horse type twist. This tree has semi-quarter horse bars. So, you see we can make a saddle for any type of horse.
