Flexible and Adjustable.

How Does Your Saddle Compare?

Buzz words make it confusing for riders to compare saddles. ‘Flexible’ or ‘Flex’ refers to the saddle tree. A ‘flexible’ tree is usually composed of a composite material that is not rigid, allowing the saddle to ‘flex’ with the lateral movement of the horse.
‘Adjustable’ refers to the adjustability of the gullet plate. There are 2 different types of adjustable saddles available on the market. One system has an interchangeable set of plates which the rider inserts to change the angle of the gullet plate.
The most versatile adjustable saddle will allow both the WIDTH and the ANGLE of the gullet plate to be adjusted to fit the horse. These benefits, which are found in the Schleese AdapTree® include:

•     Full adjustability to fit as the horse grows and develops
•     flexing with the lateral movement of the horse to improve connection and communication
•     large weight bearing panels for support and to allow freedom of movement
•     wide channel for spinal clearance promoting equine back health
•     ‘Crotch Comfort System” providing maximum comfort for all riders
•     Fit that gives your horse complete back freedom with superior comfort and security for rider
•     service by Certified Saddle Fit Technicians with 1400+hrs training and 3 levels of certification exams
