Info on Andrea Fappani tree
The term "Bob's saddle Andrea Fappani tree" refers to a specific saddle tree design developed in collaboration with champion reining rider Andrea Fappani and used in saddles made by Bob's Custom Saddles.
Here's the meaning behind this particular tree:
- Designed for reining: The Fappani tree, and the saddles built with it, are specifically designed to meet the demands of reining, emphasizing close contact and optimal rider positioning for maneuvers like stopping and turning.
- Close contact and rider comfort: The tree and accompanying seat, often featuring a narrower design and special padding, are intended to put the rider in a balanced and close-contact position, enhancing their feel for the horse and promoting proper riding posture.
- Horse comfort and movement: The tree's shape, including its narrower front end, is designed to fit well on a variety of reining horses and allow for unrestricted movement.
- Andrea Fappani's input: The design incorporates years of feedback and refinements from Andrea Fappani himself, based on his experience as a leading reining trainer and competitor. This ensures the saddle functions as a finely-tuned tool for serious reining riders.
Essentially, the Andrea Fappani tree on Bob's Custom Saddles represents a culmination of expertise in reining performance and saddle design, aiming to maximize both rider effectiveness and horse comfort.
