Specific Horse Conformation: The "Hunter tree" is a saddle tree specifically designed by Harry Dabbs for a particular horse type.The name comes from its suitability for the "heavy hunter" types often seen in the UK.
Key Characteristics: This tree is made for horses with a round, flat back and little to no wither.These are the horses on which many other saddles tend to roll or slip from side to side.
Design for Stability: The shape of the Hunter tree provides the necessary stability and fit for this conformation, helping to keep the saddle securely in place on a horse with a broad, flat back.
Important Note: Saddle fitting is crucial. While a saddle model may be designed for a specific horse type, it's always recommended to have a professional saddle fitter assess both the horse and rider to ensure the best possible fit.
