Location: Phoenix | I ride in a treed. I wouldn't be opposed to a flex but the gullet Has to work for the horse. I had a special effx saddle and the gullet just wasn't wide enough and did not accommodate my gelding's big shoulders. |

Location: Texas | I have a deb sibley flex tree and I love it.. I don't notice any difference riding than in my treed saddle. I've never tried a treeless but I've heard they feel nothing alike. |

Location: North Dakota | Treed! I owned a horse in the past I think the treeless would have been perfect on. Now I have a gelding that s just to rough. If I was in a treeless It would not go well! I feel like there is no support in a treeless for certain types of running styles!! |

Location: Louisiana | I started riding in a treeless when I found out that's what T-Bo prefers. He was a different horse the first time it was on his back bc my saddle had been causing him pain. Now I'm sure there is a treed saddle out there that will fit him... But he's perfectly happy and pain free in the treeless, plus I have grown to love it as well. It is so light and comfy. |

Location: MD | I ride in both treed and treeless saddles daily.I have one horse that I will only run in a treeless, but ride in a treed saddle every day. I have another that I prefer to run in the treeless, but will run in just about anything. I also have one that I just cannot ride in the treeless. It's not that she can't be ridden in one, actually one of my students has been very successful on her in a BM. I just don't like the feel of her in it. |

Location: Southeast Louisiana | I have treed and flex tree. They are the saddles that just fit the horse I was saddle shopping for at the time. I would not rule out treeless, though. |

I bought this Ammerman last year and love it. It's pretty wide. My favorite for fitting me and my horses is my Meleta Brown. It is so comfy. A tad heavy, but I love it.

I got mine at steal prices. People on FB groups selling stuff. I didn't need the last one I got but it was such a steal that I figured why not. |

| I have owned flex trees and treed. I loved my marlene special effix flex tree but it just didn't have enough flare for my horses. the bars fit everything the shoulder/gullet fit absolutely nothing. I meleta brown walked me through proper saddle fitting and she didn't even recommend one of her saddles at first but that is what I ended up buying I LOVE HER SADDLES I will never sell my original and im saving up for her new tree. that way I have one for a more flat backed horse and one for pretty good rock |

Location: Paradise , tx | Been riding in one brand or the other treeless saddles for about 11 years. Love them. Have never had any problems with them.
Just recently bought a Tammy Fisher, only rode about 5-6 rides in it so far, but I like it. The biggest difference in this one and the other ones I have had (first on in 93) is the quality is much improved, and the TF is a little heaver than my first Bob Marshal. |
