twisted tree

[Tiarella]

douglas came with a wintec synthetic saddle, but it has a twisted tree, i have no idea about it at all.

so anyone have any ideas on what a twisted tree is?

(he isnt ridden in that saddle obviously

)

The tree should be symetrial and 'square'. A twist just means it's no longer symetircal and 'bent' in one direction.

Get rid of the saddle (cut it up as no-one else uses it) and have his back checked. A twisted tree can either cause a sore back, or can be CAUSED by an asymetrical horse.

I thought Wintec trees were guaranteed for life? I'd contact Wintec as they may replace the tree for free.
