STEELE EQUI-FIT FLEXIBLE TREES 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 Steele now offers flexible tree that Bends with your horse. Equi-fit Flexible trees 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-fit Flex eliminates soring due to bridging and pressure points associated with conventional rigid trees automatically conforms to an uneven back and automatically adjusts to the contours of your individual horse. ...True Flexibility. The equifit 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-fit Flex is designed to easily flex the entire range of your horse's movement and gives your horse the freedom of bareback riding with the security and weight distribution of a conventional saddle tree. ...State-of-the-Art. The 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 1) Construction: Conventional four parts – fork, cantle and two bars. A rigid fork and cantle assembled together with flexible bars.
