It has the best features of an Aussie Stock Saddle and an American Western Saddle. The swell, pommel and knee pads are all features of an Aussie Stock Saddle. This saddle is made by Martin Saddlery, Martin being one of the elite names in the saddle industry. Martin develops and produces the highest quality of products on the market today, which is why Clinton endorses and believes in their products. Our Aussie Saddle is handmade, from its tree all the way to the finished product, in Greenville, TX.
O Tree is made from South Dakota Pine with a fiberglass cover. This helps preserve and protect the tree over the life of the saddle.
Fiberglass adds strength to the tree and minimizes the bulk. O Tree has a Quarter Horse bar- 23 in length and 100 degrees to the bar.
O Bar tips of the tree are flared out; this accommodates the movement of the horses shoulders and loin. O Bars are beveled from the center; this helps prevent dry spots and gives the tree a balanced fit for the horse and the rider. O Brown bomber leather, medium oil leather. O Our saddle tends to run about one size larger than a traditional western saddle.
For example, if you currently ride in a size 16" saddle, you would ride in a size 15" in our saddle. O The sheepskin wool on the bottom of the saddle helps with shock absorbency. This means that the stirrups are pre-turned for the rider, which provides the rider pressure relief on the knees and lower back. O 6 sets of strings. O Rounded skirt helps keep the weight down.
