A saddle tree (10) for a horse saddle has an arched body portion (12) shaped to fit across a horse's back, a pair of laterally-spaced fork members (14) which project downwardly from opposite sides of the arched body portion so as to extend downwardly on opposite sides of a horse's body when in use, and a pair of laterally-spaced independently resiliently deflectable spring members (16) projecting rearwardly from the arched body portion. The said spring members are of blade-like shape curved to conform with the shape of a horse's back and have a length sufficient to extend along at least eight vertebrae when in use and a lateral spacing causing at least laterally-inner rear-edge portions thereof to rest on the relevant vertebrae when in use.
