As we looked for the latest and greatest in the saddle tree market we quickly realized that the Steele Saddle Tree Company was ahead of the rest. Their expertise and long history in making saddle trees lead us to utilize their knowledge in selecting the proper tree system. The system we will be using on all new models of Ortho-Flex saddles is unique and different than anything else on the market today. The Flex Bar System uses the versatile elements of flexible bars but also uses a hybrid seating system to anchor the tree for stability of the rider. This system creates a stable riding experience for the rider but allows freedom of movement for the horse. We think once you get a glimpse of our new technology and line up of new models, you will want to experience one for yourself.
