This is a Laporte Saddle tree. These trees are tougher than hell, able to withstand a cowboys use and abuse, modernly designed by Mark Howes - Double H saddle shop. Riggin is adjustable! ride full,7/8, or buckshot. Wood is good, but I use these trees - colts to roping bulls. Mark commonly ropes with and 80ft reata, hell of a cowboy, buckaroo, and nice guy. Currently made in Nunn, CO, by Shawn Howes. - I agree that this lady has never made a saddle.

Apparently she has never actually made a saddle. The rigging does NOT pull down from the center like a belt. She is pointing to where the stirrups hang. As lostbuckaro1 said the normal rigging also connects around the tree.

I;m not sure where you get your info from. But cable rigging has been around for many years and the normal rigging placement on a saddle is the same as your cable rigging. It get fastened to the bars in front and it runs down and to the back just below the cantle.

Cowboys have rode wood and rawhide trees for 200 plus years, seems to have worked out for them ! Wood and Rawhide Forever !!!!
