Why Ride Bitless? Why ride Treeless? There is no shortage of information about treeless saddles and the benefits and features they offer to horse and rider but I will try to summarize it up for you in one word “Comfort”. When I mean comfort I mean for both you and your horse. Every horse’s back and every person’s body is different. It can be very hard to find a saddle that will fit your horse and your body type. Because these saddles do not have a tree (usually trees are made of wood fibreglass or steel) they are able to conform and bend to the shape of both the horse and rider. The more you use it the more it has that “Fits Like A Glove” feel. It is like having a custom made saddle for you and your horse. The benefits of this comfort can also been seen in the way you and your horse perform. The flexibility of a treeless saddle allows you and your horse to move more freely and not be inhibited by a stiff tree. You and your horse will move more naturally, free to find your seat easier then in a treed saddle. Over time we all start to change shape, including our horses. Unlike a conventional treed saddle a HorseLife treeless will change with you both, this keeps you from having to add or take away pads so the saddle continues to fit your ever changing horse. With Treeless saddles sizing is not a big an issue, the flexibility of the saddle allows for many different size bottoms to fit in it, If you opt for a bigger size it just means you have a little more playing room then a smaller saddle.
I have experimented with many bits on some very strong horses over the years and I can say with confidence that the Horselife Bitless Bridle actually calms and even eliminates those annoying actions horses do to try and evade the bit.
Stopping often improves because these horses are concentrating more on the rider then trying to avoid the bit. I guess when it comes down to it horses work better and more willingly when they are comfortable and relaxed the HorseLife Bitless Bridles does just that.
Do you and your horse a favour and start enjoying the comfort and flexibility of a HorseLife Treeless saddle
