This is the heart and soul of the saddle. The Stübben spring tree is regarded as the “Power Seat” of spring trees. After being pre-tensioned, the forces of tension and pressure counteract each other with optimum efficacy. The original Stübben spring tree is a patented in-house development. It is the tailor-made link between horse and rider. The rider sits elastically in the webbing of the tree which slightly contracts under the rider’s weight. As soon as the load is relieved, the saddle tree will expand due to the incorporated steel springs. There is no seat that provides more comfort for the rider. This elasticity has a gentle effect on the horse’s back, while the sensitive withers are sustainably protected by the twice bent tree ends made of rust-proof steel. A Stübben saddle tree is precious, elaborately manufactured and unsurpassed in its effect. Stübben is constantly striving to improve the technology and effect of the saddle tree to perfection.
