Big Horn Form Fitting Flex Tree

Flexible saddle trees are becoming increasingly popular, reflecting the growing awareness and concern of today’s riders for their horse’s  well-being. Beware, however, flexibility is not the same as proper fit.

The fork and cantle should be rigid, which limits the flexibility to the bars.  Otherwise there is a risk of pinching the wither, creating even more pressure than an ill fitting tree.  The tree should not rest on the spine at any point.

Equi-Fit Flexible bars are molded to shape, not cut from a flat sheet.  This flexibility enhances an already proper fit; it doesn’t attempt to create it.  Crudely fashioned bars, dependent on flexibility for the final shaping of the fit, have pressure points built in.

Equi-Fit Flexible bars work like the arch support of a shoe; they provide the correct fit while the flexibility allows unrestricted movement and bends away from pressure.  If you are choosing a flexible tree, make sure the flexibility improves a quality fit and does not merely make a crude fit tolerable.
