Made exclusively for Downunder Horsemanship by Martin Saddlery, Clintons Aussie Saddle combines the best features of an Aussie stock saddle & an American Western saddle. Designed to enhance both horse’s and rider’s ability while establishing and maintaining proper body position, this saddle gives you the confidence to focus on your training. Perfect for trail riding or as a working/training saddle, Martin saddle trees are precisely assembled with specific angles of alignment to help ensure a secure seat. Carefully-spaced bar pattern provides full, even contact with the horses back for even distribution of pressure and optimum spine relief to help prevent soreness. Specially designed to encourage and accommodate lateral flexion and movement of the horse’s five body parts without acute points of pressure, as well as to provide protection during hard stops and turns, this saddle’s smaller, more rounded profile is light and comfortable for your horse. For the rider, a shallow cradle under the thighs allows ease of movement, front knee pads provide extra balance for a more secure seat, and free-swinging fenders help balance weight and keep feet in proper position.
