A McClellan saddle tree is made up of five wooden parts. The pommel, two side bars, and the cantle (which itself is comprised of two parts joined together with an iron strap). The entire affair is then covered with rawhide which is sewn together using rawhide lacing. This method of tree construction remained constant for the duration of the McClellan's history with the US Army 1859 - 1945.

A McClellan saddle consists of several key parts, including the tree, which provides structure; the seat, where the rider sits; and the panels, which distribute the rider's weight over the horse's back. It also features stirrups for foot support, girth straps to secure the saddle to the horse, and a cantle and pommel that help stabilize the rider.
