I attended a saddle fit demo at the PA Horse World Expo and she brought up some very good points. She prefers Western saddle trees manufactured in the USA and said only two saddle manufactures do this with Crates (Tennessee) being one of them. Does anyone know where Tucker and Circle Y make their trees or what they are made from? I thought with the wealth of knowledge here, someone might know. Thanks!
Since Circle Y says some of their saddles are built on a traditional wood tree, I assume that the ones that don’t say this in the online description have trees of another material.
The Tucker website isn’t this clear, but the two saddles I viewed are apparently made in America. It may depend on the particular, since Tucker and Circle Y are owned by the same person as best I can tell.
