Why no tree?

With conventional saddles that have a rigid tree, the saddle sits on the horse immovably while the shoulder and legs move. The weight of the rider is never fully aligned. It is constantly shifted forwards through the tree. With a TORSION saddle, the rider always moves in harmony with the horse’s natural gait. It is extremely soft & moulds itself to the shape of your horse. When used with a specially designed pad, the horse’s shoulders and back are free of any local pressure points. The absence of a rigid tree also reduces the saddle’s weight down to a remarkable 3.5Kg (8 lbs). All this combines to create harmony, balance, freedom of movement and increased performance.

How is it made?

The saddle is made with finest Italian Nubuk leather, known for its quality and comfort. It is lined with Sympatex, Leather or Kordel fleece. The girth attaches to a large fitting with a secure buckle system. The leather is reinforced and stitched for strength. The girth straps & stirrup leathers are leather, lined with nylon, or are made entirely of nylon. The stirrup leathers attach to fittings that are connected to a large band of Cordura that sits under the seat. This goes from pommel to cantle to disperse the rider’s weight. The pommel and cantle both have a removable piece of beech wood. The saddle works best with either the specially designed TORSION 100% Merino Wool Saddle Pad, an Equitex Pad, or a Sympatex pad, all of which are made for the shape of the TORSION.
