| How much flex does a deb sibley actually have? Trying to find more info on them, but the site doesn't really have too much info about the actual tree. Is it some type of composite material? Is the pommel and cantle wood? I have two horses I am trying to fit with one saddle. They are almost identical with the wither tracing, but one horse has a bit more arch to his back where as the other is pretty straight backed. |

You should email Deb Sibley or talk to her on Facebook...she's really happy to answer any questions.  |

| Do they make you feel perched up off your horses back like a bob marshall does? Or sits more like a treed saddle? |

I have not ridden in a Bob Marshall, so can't compare, however my Deb Sibley makes me feel the most secure of any saddle I've ridden. I just love mine and have zero desire to try anything else. It is so comfortable and easy to ride in and I never notice any soreness in my horse after a ride. |

Humm are you sure you rode in a BM, I have a BM and it does not perch you, its a super close contact saddle, I feel every movement my horses make under this saddle. And I have 2 Deb Sibleys and they are a flex tree and they do ride more like a treed saddle. |

| Yes def was a bob marshall. Was a newer one, so maybe why I felt like I was perched so high of my horse. |

| I love my Debra Sibley. I suggest getting the 5" cantle bs 4". I have the 4" and that is my only regret. It is close contact, mine basically flexes in half or can. Lots of motion and close contact but rides more like a treed saddle without that trapped in feeling. I have had mine for about 10 years and still very happy with it. |

| I would like to know this as well. Since it's not a true treeless can someone explain how it flexes and where the bars are. or is there bars? i love mine but confused on how they are made. |

| I can only comment that the tree is a plastic of sort (I don't know the actual material name, she has told me but I forget). There is a tree. Deb sometimes frequents BHW, but shoot her a fb message. She called me when I was debating on mine (several years ago) but was so great to work with. |
