*What is the “FB” in a Tucker saddle tree? It stands for “flatter barrel.” This tree is designed for horses whose ribs do not curve outward as much as other horses. Instead, their ribs hang straighter down, without as much outward curve. This type of conformation is sometimes referred to as “slab sided.”
