Hey, depending on your definition yes, our warmblood tree should be what you’re looking for.

A Thoroughbred, a Warmblood, and a Cob/Connemara tree. Future plans will include expansion of the traditional tree options as well as the addition of an interchangeable gullet bar, polymer tree system. (4/4)

Since we first started as a bench saddler and progressed to saddle fitting, we understand the impact that tree fit has on the overall saddle fit. Therefore, we currently offer 3 different tree options in our traditional wooden spring trees: (3/4)

The width and shape of the headplate, the length of the tree, the angles of the rails, the positioning of the stirrup bars, all play a part in the overall fit of the saddle. If the tree doesn't fit no amount of panel flocking or shaping will make the saddle appropriate for the horse. (2/4)

The traditional birch wood and spring saddle trees are the basic structure that defines the shape, size, and fit of our saddles. Saddle trees are not a "one size fits all" component and is one of the first considerations that should be taken into account when fitting a horse. (1/4)

Did you know that Walsall, UK is. the saddle capital of the world. The saddle industry can trace it's roots back to Walsall as early as the middle ages! By 1851 there were were 75 companies making bridles, harnesses and saddles all out of the tiny little town of Walsall.

Our demos ship with Velcro flaps and 4 different block options to allow for a truly custom fit for the rider. Our Master Saddler takes the information from the fitting and turns it into a fixed block on the final product! This allows for a truly 1 of 1 custom fit.

We currently have a traditional Cob/Connemara tree. We will have a polymer adjustable tree option with a gullet plate system later this year.
