Saddle Trees
Practical Dove Saddles guidance and information about saddle trees.
Our Saddle Trees not all available
We use mainly Ralide or Pro-Tuff polyethylene injection-moulded saddle trees. These are made by forcing plastic into the mould under pressure, where it turns in on itself to strengthen the tree and become a high-tensile plastic. Go to www.Ralide.com; they have been making them for over 40 years and they are the most-used western saddle tree in the world. One model alone, the Allrounder, sells 12,000 per month. They are strong, durable and will not warp or rot due to atmospheric conditions. It is a one-piece tree that will not pull apart and can be shaped and added to within the tree's boundaries.
Also, we are using Aussie Stock Hybrid saddle trees made in the USA by a saddle tree company established in 1848. They are made with fibreglass over wood.

Allrounder back tree bar differences
Sitting on a level bench, these are the back bars of two Allrounder trees with different flares. One, as you can see, has more flare to either stay off the back more or fit the sway-backed or downhill (rump-high) horse. They are only available in the semi-to-standard Q/horse fit.
