Introduction
Ralide, The Number one Saddle Tree in the World
Saddles trees were tradiaionally made from wood and rawhide. Later on fibre glass in combination with wood and rawhide was used. In all these cases however, different segments have to be pieced together and the problem then occurs that all these components have different stress levels which can not always be handled in the same way. This causes failure in saddle trees which in turn causes concentrated stress levels on the horse, limiting its performance, making it uneasy, hurting with move and all the consequences associated with that.
RALIDE saddle trees
Traditional saddles trees also absorbs moisture (from the environment as well as sweat) which causes parts to distort and crack, tack that loosen and rust, canvas rotting and warped saddle trees that eventually tear the leather. The result is that good saddles otherwise, gets destroyed in a relatively short time and injures riders and horses.
RALDIE saddle trees, manufactured in Tennessee USA, annually sells up to 100,000 saddle trees, making it the number one saddle tree manufacturer in the world. As these trees are sold to saddle makers all over the world, it should say something as every saddle makers name hangs in the balance as the tree is the basis of a good or poor saddle.
A wide range of, mostly western and trail saddle trees are cast in one piece from a polyethylene blend of advanced plastics with exact sizes as ordered. The material allows bending and stress over long periods, returning to its original shape with no biological factors influencing its deterioration. Nails remain fixed in the tree and no moisture is absorbed by the tree. Saddles of consistent quality in the gut of the saddle, can now be made.
RALIDE saddle trees are subjected to severe tests for tugging, weight movement, carrying capacity, flexibility to return to its original shape, resulting in RALIDE offering a 5 year guarantee on its saddle trees.
Insist on a RALIDE saddle tree when next purchasing a saddle. Or, if you wish, make you own saddle by contacting us for a detailed tutorial in the form of a book and DVD, including patterns for a true western trail saddle that you can customize to your own specifications. Fittings are also available and just a click away.
The Long Riders Guild
A guild is an association of people in the pursuit of a common goal and Long Riders are defined, here at trailsaddles.co.za, as adventure, persistence, strength and immeasurable truth and loyalty to a goal, a horse and oneself. The long rider’s guild is the first international Association of Equestrian Explore. They are a group of people who are there to encourage anyone to make the journey of their life on the back of one of the most amazing creatures and friends to man, that has ever been created. The Long Riders Guild is not based on winning or competition, the aim of this group of people is to help prospecting travellers with their journey, they help people strive for personal excellence and form a truly emotionally mature, open-handed, kind, enduring and compassionate bond with horse and country. What makes this guild extremely remarkable is that every major equestrian explorer that is alive today belongs to The Guild. The Long Riders Guild is truly a home for heroes, they strive to educate the world, that the word of a long rider can always be trusted. Not just anybody has the strength saddle up and make a genuine life-changing equestrian journey.
