 Premier Treeless Saddle and Skito Western Round Saddle Pad.

Treeless Premier Flex - Great new saddle design. This saddle does not have a hard wooden tree. It does have bars however, made of leather and foam. They raise the rider up away from the horses spine so that a nice air channel is formed down the horses back.  The saddle bars bend and form to the horses back. This ensures that the horse does not feel jabs in the loins or withers upon turning. You are sitting close to your horse and can feel all the movements he makes under you.  Your communication is multiplied many times. 

The pommel is made of wood covered with rawhide. It comes in four sizes to fit nearly all horses withers. The bars mold to the horses back, but the pommel must be the correct width to sit properly on either side of the withers. To find out the width of your horses withers, do a measurement. See instuctions here. The Cantle is made of a rigid foam material. It is rigid yet flexible. 

The Premier has a flat seat, making it easier to move around while training. It is also more comfortable for some as it does not rise up drastically toward the pommel. This saddle is sized like a Western. If you ride a 15" western saddle you would feel comfy in a 15" Premier. See Sizing Chart. This saddle does not have as much twist as does the Flex Trail. Some ladies do not like this lack of twist.

The rigging is a Center Fire Rigging. The latigo starts in the back, goes down through the cinch ring, up through the front ring of the saddle, back down through the cinch ring, and then ties off in the back. This lets the cinch ring float and self adjust so the pressure is equal from front to back on the saddle. The optional drop western rigging is also available as an add on.

With the use of a crupper and breast collar, the saddle does not have to be super tight.

A new option is a horn. We offer a barrel saddle horn, or a 2" high wide horn. Look like a cowboy but give your horse the comfort of treeless. 

 
A  Skito Pad is recommended with this saddle as for all treeless saddles. The Round Western Pad or a Square Western fits the Premier well and we now have the Sktio Premier made just for this saddle.
