Exclusive Features of TW Saddlery
TW Saddlery saddles are designed to give both horse and rider more options than a traditional fixed-tree western saddle. From our patented Adjustable 3-D Fit System to rider comfort features like removable seats, adjustable stirrup positioning, multiple fender choices, and shorter tree bars, every detail is built to improve fit, comfort, and long-term performance.
Designed to Fit the Horse in 3 Dimensions
Patented Adjustable 3-D Fit System
Traditional saddle trees are fixed in shape, leaving riders to work around fit problems with pads or shims. TW Saddlery saddles are built with our patented Adjustable 3-D Fit System, allowing the saddle to be adjusted in width, arch, and angle to better match your horse’s unique back shape.
This means the saddle can be fine-tuned for changing toplines, prominent withers, asymmetrical shoulders, broader backs, narrower builds, and horses that change condition throughout the year.
Shorter Bars & Skirts
Many western saddles are built with long tree bars and oversized skirts that can overwhelm compact-backed horses. TW Saddlery tree bars measure approximately 20–22 inches depending on seat size, making them shorter than many traditional western saddle trees while still providing broad weight distribution.
Several TW Saddlery models also offer shorter skirt options for horses with shorter backs, Arabians, gaited horses, smaller builds, or riders who simply want a more streamlined saddle.
Exclusive Rider Comfort Options
Removable & Interchangeable Seats
Select TW Saddlery models feature removable seat systems that allow riders to customize seat feel, cushioning, and balance. Depending on the model, riders can choose seat options such as padded leather, smooth leather, suede, buffalo, or fleece-style seat cushions.
This gives riders more flexibility than a traditional stitched-in saddle seat and allows the saddle to be adjusted for long-distance comfort.
Adjustable Stirrup Positioning
Many TW Saddlery saddles allow the stirrup position to be adjusted, helping riders find a balanced leg position for their body type and riding discipline.
Whether you prefer a more traditional western leg position, a balanced trail riding position, or a slightly more centered endurance-style position, adjustable stirrup placement helps improve rider comfort and security.
Trail Fenders & Traditional Fenders
TW Saddlery offers both trail fenders and traditional western fenders so riders can choose the feel and function they prefer.
Trail fenders are a popular choice for riders who want less bulk under the leg, easier leg movement, and long-distance comfort. Traditional fenders offer a more classic western look and feel while still benefiting from TW Saddlery’s adjustable fit and balanced saddle design.
Seat, Cantle & Style Choices
Many TW Saddlery models offer rider-focused customization options such as seat leather, seat style, cantle style, tooling, hardware, conchos, and other finishing details.
This allows riders to build a saddle that fits their horse while still matching their riding style and personal taste.
Rigging Options Built Around Your Ride
Western & English Rigging Options
Some TW Saddlery western saddles can be ordered with English-style rigging for riders who prefer the lower-profile feel of an English girth system.
This can be especially helpful for riders who want the security and look of a western saddle with reduced bulk under the leg.
Built for Different Disciplines
TW Saddlery saddles are used for trail riding, endurance, western dressage, gaited horses, ranch versatility, mounted shooting, reining, and everyday riding.
Because our saddles are adjustable, lightweight, and customizable, riders can choose the model and features that best support their discipline, horse, and riding goals.
Why These Features Matter
A saddle should not force your horse to fit a fixed tree, and it should not force the rider into one rigid position. TW Saddlery saddles are built to adjust, adapt, and support both horse and rider over time.
Our exclusive features help address common saddle fit and comfort challenges, including:
- Changing toplines
- Prominent withers
- Broad or narrow backs
- Asymmetrical shoulders
- Short-backed horses
- Rider knee, hip, or back discomfort
- Long-distance trail and endurance riding needs
- Riders who want lighter-weight western saddle options

Whether you’re looking for a lighter trail saddle, a secure Aussie-style saddle, a western dressage saddle, a Wade saddle, or a fully adjustable western saddle for everyday riding, TW Saddlery offers features you simply will not find in a traditional fixed-tree saddle.
