In Hennig's words:
The Multi-function tree (MFT) is the only saddle tree worldwide with free moving points. The now inwards lying point is flexible and optionally adjustable stored at the head iron on a shock-absorbing rubber-membrane. The MFT’s points are separated from the iron on both sides and can therefore move freely and dynamically following the horse’s movements. It adjusts and moves with the horse, as opposed to a standard tree that braces against the horse’s body, which especially limits the movement of their shoulders.
The free points are able to adjust independent from each other. Because of the flexible membrane the points are able to adapt themselves to each movement axis permitting the horse’s antidromic muscle work and development. For the first time this allows the saddle to follow the horse’s movements permanently.
In the MFT, the horse’s shoulder is allowed to move forward. When the shoulder moves backwards, the lower third of the muscle grows stronger and bigger and again the point adapts itself to this. Therefore this is the first time that a saddle tree allows the free forward and backward gliding of the shoulder (and the osteochondral layer of the shoulder blade) is possible. This is in contrast to conventional saddle trees where it is restricted at certain points.
