Re: [RC] Treeless? - a.hoinsHi Carrie,I ride one of my horses in a treeless Sensation Dressage Trail saddle. Allot of people in my area ride treeless. Check out the Yahoo Treeless saddle group; lots of information to be gained there. I will just say that treeless has it's place. Certain horses do better with them then others. General standard rule: round, wide backs with low withers do best. My little mare breaks the rules, more moderate withers, not round backed. Rider size can play into the mix with chanel issues down the spine and pressure where the stirups attach to the saddle. Another thing, the padd is vitally important. Be prepared to pay $$$ for a good pad. It is worth it! Check out foresthorse.com Kate at Foresthorse and Tom at Skito pads have been wonderful to work with. They helped me fine tune saddle and pad fit. Ann SW PA
I'm curious what people think of treeless saddles in regards to the health of the horse's back. Good thing, or not so much? Specifically, in relation to an Arab's back structure, et al.
