Dixieland Gaited Saddles
EQUI-FLEX BY STEELE SADDLE TREE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tradition & State-of-the-Art
The Ultimate Combination...
Steele Saddle Tree Company has a tradition of embracing the latest in technology, materials, and design while
retaining the best of the past and present. We don't do things a certain way because it's always been done
that way. "That way" in our opinion can always change for the better as we discover new technology and
design to benefit the horse and rider. We have stayed at the forefront of the saddle tree industry for five
generations, totalling one hundred fifty years by combining tradition and state-of-the-art in strategic
proportions.
In our ongoing effort to improve our product and utilize the latest developments to benefit the horse, rider, and
saddler, we proudly introduce Equi-Flex® Patent Pending the Flexible Tree that Bends with your horse.
Equi-Flex® attains its flexibility by combining a traditional rigid fork and cantle together with a state-of-the-art
foundation in lieu of the conventional bars and ground seat. This foundation, molded of a material similar to a
rubber-like work boot sole, allows the assembled tree to bend along with your horse's spine while the rigid fork
and cantle maintain proper bar angle and spread.
Equi-Flex® enhances both your horse's health and performance...
Equi-Flex® eliminates soring due to bridging and pressure points associated with conventional rigid trees.
Equi-Flex® conforms to an uneven back and automatically adjusts to the contours of your individual horse.
Equi-Flex® can help enhance your horse's performance . It is not about "winning at all costs" or "all that
matters is the win." Simply, it's about giving your horse unrestricted freedom to perform to its fullest. A sored or
restricted horse will not give you its best.
...True Flexibility.
Equi-Flex® is not a modified skirting system. Neither does it have the limited flexibility of rawhide covered
saddle trees or one piece molded saddle forms, both of which flex only under extreme pressures not created
during normal riding. Equi-Flex® is designed to easily flex the entire range of your horse's movements.
Equi-Flex® gives your horse the freedom of bareback riding with the security and weight distribution of a
conventional saddle tree.
...Attention to Detail.
Equi-Flex® saddle trees feature a smooth, seamless surface allowing the saddler to easily attain a
professional finish without excessive effort. The carefully researched and designed stirrup leather slot
provides for maximum travel, unimpeded motion, and ease of adjustment. These are two of the many features
that illustrate the Equi-Flex® advantage to both saddler and rider.
...Tradition.
Equi-Flex® saddle trees are made with individual components, separate fork, cantle, and horn that yield a
near infinite variety of styles. No special tools, fasteners, or experience is necessary to build saddles with
these flexible trees. Our trees have a proven fit. Each specific fit is field tested over thousands of hours of
actual riding by you, the rider of our Equi-Fit® line of quality saddle trees.
...State-of-the-Art.
The Equi-Flex® foundation is molded of a specially developed elastomer. This state-of-the-art material has a
precisely calculated resilience for ideal weight distribution without pressure points. It has memory to maintain
correct shape and retains nails better than wood. The molding process ensures that every part is uniform and
symmetrical. Trees are always square, level, and without twist. The seat design recognizes and compensates
for the differences in male and female pelvic structures giving unprecedented comfort and support for all
riders.
