The Kimberley's a remote, rugged area of Australia's far northwest is famed for its cattle, and the exploits of its drovers and ringers. In one epic drive in 1942, a handful of horsemen took 3,000 head of cattle over 1,000 miles from the Kimberley's, across the Red heart to Queensland, to save them form the threat of Japanese invasion. This area is also the closest point in Australia to the Indian Sub-Continent where we have found what we believe are the best quality Asian-made saddles - saddles worthy of the name "Kimberley". For those seeking a quality saddle at an affordable price, we are confident in recommending our exclusive "Kimberley Series Saddles" |

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..... |
