Startrekk Endurance &
Western Treeless Saddles

The Western and Endurance are well-designed treeless saddles made of high-quality German leather. They are appropriate for western/pleasure to trail and endurance riding.

Both treeless saddles have two stirrup positions for rider comfort and the seat is adjustable on the Regular size models. The Western and Endurance feel similar to the rider, with both providing for a secure and comfortable feel, and good stability on the horse.

They have adjustable panels to provide for spinal clearance and a precise fit for the horse. 4 pommel widths are available to further customize the fit.

The differences between them are:

  • The Endurance has a Y-girthing setup that accomodates a dressage-length English girth and it positions the girth more towards the center of the saddle.

  • The Western has traditional Western rigging (including rings for a flank cinch) and is more appropriate for horses with a forward girth groove or very well-sprung ribs.

  • The Western is available with or without a horn on the pommel. The horn should not be used for roping or ponying.

Available colors: havana or natural smooth leather; black or brown nubuck.

Seat sizes: Regular size adjusts up to 16” Western/18” English seat. Shorty size is equivalent to 15” Western/17” English seat.

Saddle Length: Regular is 24" overall, Shorty is 22" overall. The panels are approximately 1 to 1.5" shorter than the saddle base.

Pommels: 4 widths (removable, adjustable, and changeable)

Panels: leather-covered, removable, and adjustable; available in 4 thicknesses.

Saddle only: $1695 -- Westerns in Brown On Sale  for $1480 with Free Shipping.

Startrekk Comfort & Comfort Shorty

$1695

The Comfort saddle is an excellent treeless saddle choice for trail, pleasure, and endurance riders who like a more English style saddle.  Single flap design, billets will fit any dressage girth.  Two choices for stirrup position, cantle is moveable for an adjustable seat size (regular size only).  This saddle provides more structure than many treeless saddles which gives the rider and horse more of a treed-saddle feel while still remaining flexible and adjustable. This also provides for a more secure seat for the rider.

This treeless saddle is available in black, two-tone dark brown, and cognac

Seat size: Regular Comfort adjusts up to 16” Western/18” English seat. Comfort Shorty is equivalent to 15” Western/17” English seat.  Please note: treeless saddles tend to fit a bit differently in the seat than treed saddles and you may find that you fit in a smaller seat size than you would in a treed saddle. 

Pommels are available in 4 widths and are removable and changeable. 

The panels are leather-covered, removable, and adjustable.  They come in 4 thicknesses.

Demo Saddle Available.

Startrekk Treeless Dressage Saddle:

A treeless dressage saddle with a twist and a very normal appearance! No one will know it's treeless except you and your horse. Deep seat, straight flaps, classically positioned stirrup bars. Available in 16.5", 17.5", and 18.5" sizes (16.5" saddles are special order only).

Startrekk All-Purpose Saddle:

Slightly shallower seat than the dressage, flaps are positioned more forward to allow for a shorter stirrup length. Suitable for jumping up to 3'. Available in 16.5", 17.5", and 18.5" sizes (16.5" saddles are special order only).

Startrekk Icelandic Saddle:

Designed with the forward-girth-grooved, big shoulder action type of horse in mind. Flatter seat than the dressage, slightly more forward flap, slightly more forward stirrup position (not a chair seat). Works equally well for gaited and non-gaited horses, and excellent for riders wanting to show in dressage but who prefer a more open seat. Available in 16.5" and 17.5" sizes (16.5" saddles are special order only).
