Western saddles are used for western riding and are the saddles used on working horses on cattle ranches throughout the United States, particularly in the west. They are the “cowboy” saddles familiar to movie viewers, rodeo fans, and those who have gone on trail rides at guest ranches. This saddle was designed to provide security and comfort to the rider when spending long hours on a horse, travelling over rugged terrain. We also stock sheepskin western saddle pads and western sheepskin cinches.

The design of the Western saddle derives from the saddles of the Mexican vaqueros – the early horse trainers and cattle handlers of Mexico and the American Southwest. It was developed for the purpose of working cattle across vast areas, and came from a combination of the saddles used in the two main styles of horseback riding then practised in Spain — la jineta, the Moorish style which allowed great freedom of movement to the horse; and la estradiota, later la brida, the jousting style, which provided great security to the rider and strong control of the horse. A very functional item was also added: the saddle “horn.” This style of saddle allowed vaqueros to control cattle by use of a rope around the neck of the animal, tied or dallied (wrapped without a knot) around the horn.

Christ Lammfelle Sheepskin Seat Savers for the Western Saddle is shaped to fit over the back of the saddle and held in place by cord ties either side of the saddle. One style has a strong elasticated loop that goes over the horn. The Laramie style covers more of the saddle, with a hole placed in the lambskin that goes over the horn. Available in Natural, Charcoal and Brown.

The Australian Stock Saddle is a saddle in popular use all over the world for activities that require long hours in the saddle and a secure seat. The saddle is popular for cattle work, everyday pleasure riding, trail riding, endurance riding and is also used in Australian campdrafting competitions and stockman challenges.

The traditional Australian stock saddle was designed for security and comfort in the saddle no matter how harsh the conditions. While having stylistic roots from the English saddle in the design of the seat, panels, fenders, and stirrups, it has a much deeper seat, higher cantle, and knee pads in the front to create a very secure saddle for riders who ride in rough conditions or spend long hours on a horse.

The Australian stock saddle is also great for Nervous riders,
Suspect Horses, Hacking, Backing, Schooling, Polo-crosse, Young Horses,
Green Horses, Spooky Horses

The Australian Stock saddle is kept on with a girth attached to billets under the flaps, similar to those on a dressage saddle. A surcingle passing over the seat of the saddle is also used to provide additional safety. A breastplate is sometimes added. A saddle blanket or numnah is used under the saddle to absorb sweat and to protect the back of the horse. We also offer sheepskin girths suitable for the Australian stock saddle and sheepskin numnahs designed especially for the Australian stock saddle 

Christ Lammfelle Sheepskin Saddle Seat savers specially designed for the Australian Stock Saddle. They are shaped to fit over the cantle, with strong elasticated strips that hook under the saddle flap. A velcro fastener also runs through the gullet of the saddle.
