Any horse rider knows how difficult it can be to break in a new saddle. It feels awkward when riding and can actually cause pain to the back and spine. So how is a rider supposed to deal with a new saddle and breaking it in?  They should purchase a treeless saddle instead of a traditional saddle and then they are not going to have any issues when the saddle is new.

There are many manufacturers of treeless saddles with the most prominent being the Bob Marshall treeless saddle, the Torsion treeless saddle and the Trekker treeless saddle. All of these brands offer the distinction of never having to be broken in when the saddles are new. This is because of the flexibility of the materials that are used to make them.

All of the treeless saddles are going to need to have treeless saddle pads when using them. These pads are going to offer the horse more comfort and are also going to offer the rider more cushion as well as spinal and back protection. This is much safer for the rider as well as the horse.

There is also a barefoot treeless saddle that allows the rider to ride without any of the traditional riding boots. These offer stirrups that are made for bare feet and which are more comfortable on the feet than regular stirrups are going to be. This can allow for casual riding when all the accessories of riding are not wanted or needed.

Anyone who has had to break in a saddle is going to appreciate the treeless saddles that do not need breaking in. The comfort level for both horse and rider is beyond expectations with these types of saddles. Those who are looking for a new saddle may want to consider one that has been produced by one of the major manufacturers.
