With a Purdy tree,  the weight is distributed over a larger area reducing pressure and allowing more freedom whereas a traditional tree has thinner bars which will have certain points of contact that can often block a horse’s movement or cause pain, discomfort or asymmetry.

Here’s why that matters:

Minimizes Pressure Points: When weight is spread over a larger area, there’s less chance of creating high-pressure spots that can cause pain, bruising, or long-term tissue damage.

Improves Comfort and Performance: A well-distributed load allows the horse to move more freely, especially through the back and shoulders, leading to better performance and willingness.

Concentrated pressure can damage muscles, nerves, and even bones. A saddle that spreads pressure evenly can help prevent issues like muscle atrophy, kissing spine, and soreness.

Better Blood Flow: High pressure can impede circulation. A broader surface area allows for better blood flow under the saddle, supporting muscle health and recovery.

In short, the more evenly a saddle spreads your weight, the less strain it places on any one part of the horse’s back — crucial for both comfort and long-term soundness.
