Nice saddles but they are very heavy and the seats are wide. I like narrow seats but that is personal preference. I do not know anything about the tree other than they are wood rawhide covered, that explains the weight. It's a tough saddle. The bulk and weight of them remind me of roping saddles honestly.

I completely agree with the wide part. I bought a new one this summer, loved the look and everything, but I couldn't ride in it very long because it made my hips hurt. I'd suggest you try one at a walk, trot, and lope to see if it works with you or against you. They seem to have a pretty good resale value if you can't try one out
