SADDLE TREE COMPONENT INFORMATION

BARS

There are four different styles of bars available.

  • REGULAR: Designed with a double stirrup leather groove on the bottom of the bar.
  • ARIZONA: A heavier bar recommended for steer roping and heavy usage. These bars are made with single stirrup leather groove on bottom of the bar giving extra strength, but still enabling the stirrup leather to fit well.
  • ARAB-FLARE BARS: Any style of tree can be made with shorter bars to fit an Arabian.
  • MULE-BARS: Bars designed to fit mules, can be order for any style tree.
In addition to fitting a horse well, all of the above bars, are usually built up in the front of the seat with a smaller rise. The small triangular-shaped block gives a more streamlined effect. And it can be removed to create a level or balanced ride tree.
