Read About the History of the Tennessean Saddle
  In 1996, after sending a customer 3 different saddles that did not fit her Tennessee Walking Horse, it was suggested that National Bridle should design a saddle tree especially for the Tennessee Walking Horse and other Gaited Breeds. It was apparent that we were trying to fit these horses with products made on either Q-Horse or Semi Q-Horse trees. These saddles were too low in the gullet height, too long in the skirts and too narrow in the withers. With the help of the Steele Saddle Tree Company, we began to test different designs and trees. After a year of experimentation, National Bridle introduced the first Gaited Tree to the market and called it the “Tennessean” We had learned that a 32cm (12.6" at its widest point) tree fit 98% of the gaited breeds. Also, a 26" rounded skirt would not interfere with the driving action of the horses rear end and a 8 1/2" gullet height was necessary to allow for the natural head nod of the Tennessee Walking Horse. This tree was the first to have flared bars
(both front and back) that would not “dig” into the horses body as it moved.

The tree is of Tennessee White Pine with a fiberglass coating. The stainless double C rigging plate allows for either 7/8 or 3/4 rigging and the stirrup leathers are set back to allow for a natural and correct leg position. Although this tree has been “knocked off” by many manufacturers, no one has been able to duplicate the exact fit as there is one secret to our success that we do not disclose. People who use this product will testify to the fact that this is a great tree for a gaited horse and new saddle fitting technology bears this out.
