Tarpin Hill trooper saddle trees

In an effort to produce the highest quality saddles on the market today we have incorporated two top quality high performance hybrid elastomers. All of our patterns & molds are CNC machined to precise specifications. Our Trees will be within ±1/64 of the original patterns. No other saddle company or saddle tree company can come close to our strict standards.

The EQUESTFIRM® is a rigid material that is super tough, impact resistant, & completely waterproof.  It has a 4500 psi tensile strength & a flexural strength of over 9000 psi. It will not warp, twist, break, rot, crack, split or change from its original shape & is not affected by temperature.

The EQUESTFLEX. is a semi-rigid material that is tough, flexible, impact resistant, & completely waterproof.  It has a 2500 psi tensile strength & a flexural strength of over 3000 psi. It will bend, & twist, to conform to the animals back, but always return to it's original shape when the pressure is removed. It will not break, rot crack or split & is not affected by temperature.

Tarpin Hill has been successful fitting many types of animals by adjusting the tree width & angle that the bars contact on the animal. Many saddle manufactures are limited to a couple of widths & no way to adjust the angle.

The amount of rock & twist on the other hand has been a bit more difficult to adjust. Many animals fall in between sizes, & cannot be properly fitted with yesterdays saddle trees.  Now they can with our EQUESTFLEX®.

Our new EQUESTFLEX® tree will self adjust to the animals back. Combination of girthing pressure & the riders weigh will allow the bar to adjust the rock & twist needed for a perfect fit every time.

Many breeds of horses fall into these in between sizes & can benefit from our EQUESTFLEX® tree. Any of our trooper saddles can be built on our flex tree for an additional $150.00 It carries the same 5 year warranty as our EQUESTFIRM® saddle tree
