Saddle Trees

Wooden Tree

Not only can you choose from multiple designs of quality Western Saddles for various disciplines, you can also choose from our large variety of traditional wooden trees, tried and true for many years. Our wooden trees come in various shapes and forms and can be ordered rawhide covered or covered with fiberglass. Whether you’re looking into a reining saddle, cutting, barrel racing, or ranch roping, rest assured that we have the tree to fit your horse. Nearly every tree can be built into the saddle of your choice.

Deu-Flex Tree

We also offer a one of a kind alternative to traditional trees – the Deu-Flex tree. The Deu-Flex tree has a rigid wooden fork and cantle, yet the bars and seat are of leather only, allowing for great flexibility, without losing stability and the true Western Feel. The Leather tree has a great advantage, lasts a very long time and conforms nicely to your horses back, for maximum performance and comfort. The Deu-Flex tree is not considered to be treeless. It is in fact a full tree made entirely of leather. Many layers of high quality vegetable tanned saddle skirting leather are layered on top one another, glued and stitched, to shape a tree. Flex-Fit Free 

Additionally, you can find our Flex-Fit Tree with fully adjustable fork in our Flex-Fit Western Saddle Line. This tree is a semi-flexible, high quality carbon fiber tree, that provides maximum stability along the spine, yet enough flexibility on the bars to allow your horse to bend. Along with the most innovative system available, our Allen wrench system, which allows you to change the width of the fork as wide or narrow as needed. Not recommended for roping.

Pro Flex Tree

We also offer a flexible tree of high quality that is not adjustable, which is called the Pro-Flex tree.  The Pro-Flex tree is NOT adjustable, comes with a rigid fork in 4 sizes, and the horn is of solid wood.The Foundation is made of the same material as our Flex-Fit trees. Not recommended for roping

Leather Options

Saddle Leather

When we build your saddle, we are committed to using only the best vegetable tanned leather we can get our hands on. We are offering a large variety of colors to choose from, leaving you with only one question: Which one is your favorite?  The appearance of your saddle is greatly influenced by a combination of Saddle Leather (Smooth Leather) and Seat Leather (Nappa- or Nubuck Leather).

Seat Leather

You can choose from 2 different types of leather when deciding on your seat leather. Nappa Leather is a soft leather, with a lightly structured surfuce. Nubuck Leather is of velvet like feel with a rough out structure on the surface, which helps tremendously with adherence. Special colors available upon request (Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, pattern, etc.)

  
 
Special Materials
Genuine exotic leather as well as exotic prints are only available upon request in various styles and colors. (e.G. Stingray, Alligator, Ostrich, Elephant)
Please note that the pictured leather colors on this page are not necessarily true to tone, and serve only as a sample photo. With leather being a natural product, slight differences are possible as well as small scarring.
