Adjustable Tree: This adjustable tree allows the rider to adjust the tree of their saddle to perfectly fit their horse or change the fit as they move the saddle from horse to horse. The adjustments are easy to do and the tool required.

Interlocked Double V girthing system: The girthing system is also new to the western saddle. DK Saddlery uses an interlocking double V system which is placed over the strongest part of the horses back which gives the saddle far more stability which allows the horse to lift and carry in his back far more freely which makes it far more comfortable and will also enhance the movement and performance to the horse.

Upper-Inner Thigh twist: The twist of the saddle is extrememly narrow to allow the leg to fall into the correct position and offers close contact for improved communication and a more secure seat.

Short Panel: A shorter panel means the weight bearing surface doesn't extend down to the lumbar muscles which are not meant to bear weight.
