Treeless saddle has a pommel and cantle made of fiberglass and a seat of leather and foam padding. This particular saddle is very similar to a bareback pad. This type of saddle is great for a horse who is hard to fit. If your horse has a very wide back or uneven shoulders treeless saddles may be the answer. There are riders like the close contact provided by treeless saddles, while other may find they miss the twist and shape of a traditional saddle as many treeless saddles make you sit wider. Not all treeless saddles fit all horses or the riders and when purchasing a saddle it is just as important to try before to buy as with a traditional Western or English Saddle.
