Australian Saddles - Compared to Western and English Saddles

Whilst in the UK the English saddle is still the most common, there are some riders who prefer the heavier, and more substantial Western saddle, particularly for trekking or trail riding. Whether you are currently riding English or Western, moving to an Australian saddle, particularly for longer rides, may be the perfect option both for rider comfort, as well as for the performance of your horse. What Are The Differences between Western, English, and Australian Saddles? With Western riding, the saddle is much more substantial, and features a pronounced horn to the front of the seat, and a higher cantle at the back, literally holding the rider in place. This saddle was originally designed to provide support for the rider, with sudden changes in direction on working horses, having to respond to sudden lateral movements and very sharp, immediate turns. The horn is also used as an anchor when roping cattle, and it is very much a necessary part of the saddle. The English saddle, which is more common here, is not just one type of saddle but a general term. From the front of the saddle to the back instead of a horn there is a low pommel and then the slight rise of the twist into the seat and then a well-formed cantle. Different forms of English riding will require a longer or shorter leg, but typically shorter overall than the Western style. The saddles are positioned on the horse to allow the full range of motion through the shoulders, particularly in dressage. Saddles used for jumping have additional pads, and knee rolls for the rider, but overall the leathers are short and minimal, as compared to the Western saddle, which actually uses the term fenders for the leathers. The Australian saddle is not a true hybrid of the two, but rather its own unique saddle designed for the specific needs of the rider. These saddles can have a horn or they may not, it is really all the preference of the rider, as well as a factor of how the saddle is to be used. In general appearance, especially without the horn, it is more like the English saddle but more substantial. The cantle and the pommel are more pronounced, the girth is wider, the seat is deeper and the flaps (or leathers) are wider and longer, more like that of the Western saddle. The stirrup leathers are more like that of an English saddle and there is a knee pad for additional rider support. The longer leg riding style is used with this saddle, which makes it more comfortable for many riders. Additionally, the legs sit to the front of the body, more like that of a Western riding style, making it a more natural position. This is just one of the reasons why these saddles are often favored for long hacking outings, or for endurance riding.
