Custom saddle maker, Nick Pernokas , discusses the saddle tree and how it affects the western saddle. He shows some of the "secrets" that saddle salesmen will not show you.
Really good and informative video, free from disturbing music and unruly camera actions, just information from someone who clearly knows what he is talking about.
Hi, I'm looking at making my own saddle again but I can never get my tree right. So anyway I would like to know if I could just purchase a saddle tree. If you would let me I would greatly appreciate it. If I can I would like to get a double rawhide saddle tree with a 3 inch, large 1.5 inch in diameter horn, size 16 inch seat, and a tall, thin top seat. Thanks for the video, useful info.
Hi Clay, No I'm sorry, I don't sell saddle trees. I'd recommend looking at the listings for tree makers in Shop Talk Magazine, or their annual directory(www.proleptic.net) and find the closest tree maker to you. Take your horse and go visit them and explain what you want to do. Good Luck!
Hi, I can't really give you an answer based on this information. As I said in the video, the fit is determined by the shape of the back. All I can say is to try a lot of saddles, and then diagnose the fit through the factors I mention in the video, and of course, one that doesn't slip. If you would like to talk more, please email me at link on my web site. Thanks and Good Luck!
nice knowledge nugget. The table is a surface plate i do believe, usually made of granite to be precise. The glass on a true surface plate isn't as precise
I have a horse with no withers, what kind of saddle would you recommend? I would like to get a barrel saddle I have one currently that will not stay on him. And I dont want to spend thousands on a saddle because hes only green broke.

Thank you!
Finally a western saddlemaker who realizes the importance of saddle fit!
The longer the bar length, the more likely you are to experience bridging as well. Hence, the shorter the bars, the less likely.
You have to have a balance. If they're too short, they won't distribute the pressure under the swell or cantle as well.
Very useful information you gave us Nick! This video has given me great tips on using horse saddles very wisely!
Opinion on fiberglass vs rawhide in high humidity climates? Seems the fiberglass would be my best option here on the gulf coast.
Nice job, Nick! I learned a few new things from this!
Very nice explanation! Thanks for the education!
Thanks Nikki!

Please help me. I want to learn how to saddle. Waiting for your reply.
I think you mean that you want to learn how to build a saddle? I would suggest contacting Pedro Pedrini at Hamley's Saddlery in Pendleton, Oregon.
