They don’t get in the way like a cantle and a horn on a western saddle, but they help you stay put. But if you need to adopt a forward seat for a two-point, posting or a fast canter, it’s no problem and feels just like an english saddle, but with more security and more seat. The stirrups are set very much in the same place as an AP saddle, so if you’re sitting just right, I can see where it would put you in a chair seat, just like an AP. When you get one that really fits you, it’s super nice to ride in. So I called Down Under, they told me to send it back, and they sent me the next size down. The first saddle I ordered was WAY too big and I flopped around in the seat like a fish out of water. In fact, it reminds me of riding in an All Purpose saddle, but with more saddle. WOW!! Can I say I LOVE it! It’s the most comfortable seat I’ve ever sat in and once I got the right fit (for me), I have no trouble posting in it. Had no success with english or western saddles on her. The horse I bought the saddle for is very hard to fit, plus I have some hip problems. I second Toni’s opinion they are GREAT to work with. I just got my first Aussie saddle from Down Under Saddle Company. I had never heard this before, and really don’t know if this is true or if our chiropractor just has an off the wall opinion of these saddles (she’s a die hard huntseat person). She wasn’t speaking in particular to my horse and her back, but rather in general. However, last week when I mentioned this to my horse’s chiropractor, she had a fit and said whatever I do, don’t get an Aussie saddle because they are horrible for the horse’s back and sit the rider too far back. From researching and shopping on-line, and riding in one once or twice, I had been thinking an Aussie saddle would fit the bill well. I don’t particularly care for western saddles and am looking for something that will provide more security while maintaining a bit of the English saddle feel and contact with the horse. I have always ridden huntseat, but would like something a bit more secure for the occasional mishap on the trails. I have been seriously considering getting an Aussie saddle for trail/pleasure riding. Been lurking for a while but now I’ve got a question so it’s time to post for the first time.

All will be blue but different shades of colour because of the different materials. It is the same with clothing, a cotton polo shirt in blue, will be a different shade to a blue jumper or a pair of trousers. So for example a tan bridle, saddle and girth will be in a tan spectrum but there will be variations in the actual colour, including the saddle which has to be made of different grades of leather, giving different shades. So it is impossible to achieve exactly the same colour.įor a group of products such as a saddle, bridle, girth, reins there will always be different nuances in colour. We need to use different leather types for different parts, which means leather from different animals, different suppliers, different tanning processes or tints. It is impossible to get two items made of tan, dark tan, brown or Havana leather exactly the same colour.Ī saddle is made from different types of leather, some parts of the saddle – for example seat, flaps, panels, girth straps, require leather giving different characteristics compared to other parts.
