How to measure an Australian Stock Saddle |
|
Australian saddles are measured differently to Western or English saddles. Below is a guide to the size you will need in an Australian saddle, however we still require your height, weight and pant size to correctly determine the exact size you will need for a particular saddle.

(a) length of tree. (b) dip in seat.

Ladies Approximate Saddle Size
Guide for Australian Saddles:
|
|
The weight on all of our saddles does not include the fittings (girth,
overgirth, stirrup leathers and brass stirrups) as there are many choices and the weight
will therefore vary. As a guide, the standard fittings package weighs approximately 6 lbs.
This can be reduced to approximately 3 1/2 lbs by using biothane leathers and polymer
stirrups. The weight shown is based on a 16" saddle without a horn. A horn and
the back cinch rings will add approximately 4 lbs. As a guide, add a 10% increase over the
previous weight for each additional inch of seat size.

Serge Panel This kind of panel is self adjusting, the saddle fit keeps improving with each and every ride, until it has conformed to the shape of your horse. This kind of saddle will sit higher on the horse when new, but will lower when the panel begins to conform to your horse. This however, will only work if you have the correct tree width to suit your horse, please refer to our horse fitment details for more information (click here). The stuffing in our saddles is a combination wool flock blend and it is unlikely that you ever need to reawl or restuff the panel, unless you do a tremendous amount of riding. A serge panel saddle is best suited for horses with medium to higher withers, and is ideal for the majority of horses. This is the most popular type of Australian saddle and will provide many years of service. |
 |
Fleece Panel Fleece panels are most commonly seen on Western saddles and are fitted to Aussie saddles that are made with extended bars on the saddle tree. The riders weight is spread over a larger area on the horses back (due to the extended bars), amounting to less pounds per square inch of weight on the horses back. However, this kind of panel is best suited for horses that have a long wide flat back. If you use this kind of saddle on a horse with a short back, the extended panels may irritate/rub the horse, additionally if your horse has any curve to its back, this kind of panel will cause a bridging effect, whereby all the riders weight will be at four points on the horse’s back (either side at the front and either side at the back). However, if your horse has a wide flat back, this panel is an excellent choice..... |
