    Flex Saddle

    The challenge creating a Flexible Saddle Tree was twofold. The first was a flexible tree bar that would conform to the horse's back. Experimenting with several different materials, this was achieved by bonding high density polyethylene plastic and leather together to give a flexibility while retaining structural integrity. The next challenge was the saddle seat. We had a Flex Saddles that would bend and flex, but what would bring it back to its original position? A typical saddle seat is created by taking a preformed seat, or strainer, usually made of metal or fiberglass, and installing it onto the saddle tree. The material for this seat had to be flexible, have Shape-Holding Characteristics for the seat's foundation, and memory to bring the saddle back to it's original position. The answer came in the form of heat tempered spring steel in our flex saddles.


    Building a saddle with a flexible bar that can adjust to the confirmation of the animal significantly widens the range of animals that will fit any particular tree design. Perhaps an even greater benefit to a flexible tree is the fact that the tree will move with the horse instead of against it. When a horse turns or bends his body the tree will "get out of the way" of the animal's shoulders and hips. Whether riding for pleasure or in competitive events the Flex tree will adapt to a Wide Range of Motions.
