| The saddle in the image appears to be an Australian stock saddle, also commonly referred to as a campdraft fender saddle or "half-breed" saddle, which is a popular type used worldwide. This style of saddle is known for its security and comfort, particularly for activities requiring long hours in the saddle or a very secure seat in rough conditions. Key features typically include: Deep seat: Provides a secure and balanced position for the rider. High cantle: Offers significant back support and security. Knee pads (or "wings"): Located at the front of the saddle, these help to keep the rider's legs and body in the correct position and provide support during tight turns or rough terrain. Swinging fenders: The stirrup leathers are typically wide straps called fenders that swing, allowing for comfort and correct leg positioning. These saddles are often used in stock work, trail riding, endurance riding, and competitive events like campdrafting and polocrosse. Thank you, Google lol |
