We are no longer building saddle trees, but we have two videos about how Western saddles fit horses available on our westernsaddlefit.com website.

And that is that!!!

This walnut saddle tree will be built into a riding saddle.  The fork, cantle, and as much of the front of the bars as possible will be exposed.  The customer knows it is not as strong as a rawhide covered tree, but well cared for and used for recreational riding, it will make a beautiful saddle.

WOW is this a stunning tree! The grain of the wood is just truly beautiful. One doesn't normally see a "pretty" tree, but this is truly that.
