Chicago Stockyard Saddle Tree & Leather Works

Chicago Stockyard Saddle Tree & Leather Works We make trees that are affordable, strong, light and adjustable. Ride a Lite-Ride and save a tree! Quality wood is becoming increasingly hard to come by.

Demands and restrictions to tanneries across the US have caused
the price of rawhide to go up. Rawhide covered trees are prone to warping and breaking due to the nature of the materials
used. The cost of these products will only increase, and, eventually, they will be unattainable. But with CSST’s remarkable
applications to today’s technologies, the strongest saddle tree on the market has been

created. Chicago Stockyard Saddle Tree(CSST) is a brand-new company created with the intention of overcoming the traditional
problems with saddle trees. We are dedicated to helping to ease the burden placed upon the saddle maker by standard
wooden trees. As our name implies, we are a Chicago based company. Central location in the US is essential for our goal of changing the
horse industry. As horse riders ourselves we felt a need to better the riding experience for us, others and the entire equine
industry. For over two hundred years the traditional saddle tree has been wood covered in rawhide. The process of building
one of these wood/rawhide trees can take from 6-7 weeks to 1 year. Our product, the Lite-Ride tree is a revolutionary design in that it nullifies the issues of using wood and rawhide trees. The Lite-Ride is created out of a high density urethane that is poured not injected into the molding. This eliminates any
weak points from the injection sites, while still allowing for a consistent shape. The polyurethane that we use has a test
strength of over 3000 PSI, guaranteeing plenty of strength. Even with all that durability the Lite-Ride is still a semi-rigid
tree to help flex with the movement of the horse and unlike other “plastic” trees it is not prone to snapping.

Still here. Getting the casting list shorter and shorter. I’m thinking I can start to advertise again. Let people know I’m still in business. While I’m making the order trees, I’ll be casting some stock trees. So look for the next few posts! Thank you all for sticking with me!
