Let Brian Garvin and Jeff West teach you more about Australian Saddles and Australian Stock Saddles on our website today.
If you are someone who is interested in riding or you are looking to get back into it after a long absence, you may find that Australian Stock Saddles are items that you need to take a look at. These saddles, also known as poleys, are quite different from the English or Western saddles that you might have been used to, though they have a few key factors in common with the English Saddle.
These saddles are popular all over the world and they are perfect for anyone who intends to spend long hours in the seat and who need to have a secure seat while they do it. If you are interested in this type of saddle, you will find that there are a few things that you need to keep in mind.
When you are looking at Australian Stock Saddles, the first thing that you will notice is that they are suitable for many different types of work. They can be suitable for cattle work, or for starting young horses, but they are also quite suitable for everyday pleasure riding and for trail riding. It is a great saddle for endurance riding or for campdrafting competitions or stockman challenges. It is important to remember that you are looking at a very versatile saddle and that there are many great uses that you can put it to.
What distinguishes Australian Stock Saddles from other saddles? In the first place, it was designed with the comfort and security of the horse and the rider in mind. It has some similarities to the English model in the design of the seat, fenders, panels and stirrups, but it has a much deeper seat and a higher cantle.
It also has knee pads in the front that make it much more comfortable for people who are spending a lot of time on horseback or who are going through fairly rough terrain. A saddle blanket is used to absorb the sweat and to protect the back of the horse and in some cases, a breastplate is added to further secure the saddle.
When you are thinking about whether the Australian Riding Saddles are for you, you will find that the first thing that you need to look into is getting a good fit. The seat sizes will range from fourteen inches to twenty-two inches and you will find that if you are used to shopping for Western Saddles, you should look for a size that is two sizes larger than the normal Western Model that you would purchase.
Before you buy, it is worth looking at the breed and size of your horse as well as your own height and weight. Take some time to make sure that you can get the right saddle for your own tastes. Good Australian Stock Saddles are going to be something that does take some fitting, but it can make a huge difference to the way that you ride and to the comfort of your horse! Take some time to learn more about the different styles and to make sure that you are going to be able to find the right one for you.
