How is a treeless saddle fitted on a horse?
My horse is 15.4hh, I have always been interested in buying a treeless saddle. At the moment he has a GP saddle.
What do I need to consider when buying new saddle? How different is riding on a treeless saddle and how do I ensure the saddle actually fits him?
A treeless saddle just means instead of the tree, there it is replaced with rubber or someother material. I'm not sure if English saddles have any "treeless" saddles, but I know western does. Any "treeless" saddle will fit any horse. I will tell you, they are the best saddles I have every owned and will not go back to a wooden tree, but they are not cheap saddles! The tree alone is $1000, so you are looking at at least $1200 when bying a one, even if you are buying one used. I would buy a like new one though. If you use a rubber tree enough, the rubber will eventually mold to fit your horse 100% perfect. I have one for sale if you are interested in it. I have a 16H horse and it fits him perfectly. There is more information I can share with you but I dont want to bore you, so let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
Here is a photo of a rubber tree for a western saddle.

What is the purpose of the hole in the saddle for road bikes?
Like in the Selle Italia SLR saddles, some have a hole in the saddle, was wondering the purpose of this hole. Is it because of weight or for structural purposes? Or simply to look cool?
I actually use a Selle Italia SLR saddle now. As far as I know they do not have a hole or slot in them, mine doesn't. I know the types you talking about though. Yes, it's to relieve pressure like already stated. You don't have to have this if the saddle works well for you, like the SLR does for me. But it's certainly a design with merit. I tried a Sella San Marco Arrowhead saddle (with a hole cut in it) and didn't like it. Not because of the hole, but because it was ultra narrow, too narrow for me.
