Treeless Saddles for Icelandic Horses
Icelandic Horses tend to be mutton-withered, and their back conformation can range from A-frame to wide barrel, with a spine that is either an "out-y" or an "in-y", as well as being short-backed, or even sometimes long-backed.
With so much diversity, treed saddles, particularly the "icelandic" saddles being quite narrow, are hard to fit the horses well.
The saving grace for the Icelandic Horse has been the treeless saddle, particularly the Sensation:
