What is the difference between a treed harness saddle and a treeless?
Certainly not all harness saddles are the same. These two saddles are BOTH the ComfyFit Harness saddles. You can see the difference between the ComfyFit saddle and the Pleasure or MaraFUN harness saddle here: • The Comfy Fit Saddle V...
So what is the difference between the ComfyFit Treed Saddle ( chimacumtack.c...) and the ComfyFit Treeless Saddle (chimacumtack.c... Why would I want one over the other?
The Treed saddle will offer a bit more stability than the treeless saddle, shown in this video. The tree is a very stiff stainless steel spring tree. The tree is short in length but fairly wide in width. So it begins and ends just after the rein turrets. This could cause some issues with those wide back ponies and horses as the tree will tend to dig in where it ends. You can add padding to try to mitigate that pressure but sometimes no amount of padding will help.
*Something to consider... you should not need to have a very tight girth when driving in harness. And there shouldn't often be very much downward pressure or weight on the harness saddle. This is especially true when driving minis and small ponies. So if you are getting dry spots under your saddle first make sure that you aren't over tightening your girth and that your vehicle is correctly balanced.*
A Treeless saddle, such as the ComfyFit treeless, offers lots of padding that makes sure you will still get spinal clearance but also wraps around the horse or ponies back and sides more comfortably. So if you do have a wide backed animal, the treeless saddle is probably the most comfortable way to go.
Here is a link to a blog post that shows some saddle fit issues using sweat patterns: chimacumtack.c... This blog shows that a treed saddle is not always the answer when it comes to spinal clearance!
Sometimes we just need to try a few things to ensure our horse or pony, or donkey or mule, is comfortable in his or her job. Experimenting with different harness parts and pieces can often make all the difference!
