Times are changing,very few Aussie style saddles have a horn. Most Australian stock saddles used to look like pic #2 however the American influence has them with skirts,fenders and oxbows now. I also build roping saddles,team roping saddles ect but all on the American style. The Aussie saddle was designed to ride in all day mustering or droving and usually has a strained web seat for comfort where as the western saddle usually has a solid ground seat which after about 4 hours feels like you are sitting on a concrete slab. The western saddle is usually fitted with a horn used for hard and fast roping or dally roping..Not a popular practice here in Australia for working stock especially on bigger properties unless American orientated. ![]() |
