The Australian style Down Under Saddle Supply Kimberley Stock Saddles are appealing to trail riders all over the world. These affordable all purpose Aussie trail saddles are made with quality smooth leather for an elegant look and easy care. Australian style saddles provide the ultimate security for trail riders regardless of the terrain. It's built on a flexible, traditional wood and steel spring tree.
The flexible steel spring tree on Down Under's Kimberly Stock Saddles is a beefed-up, stronger version of a traditional steel spring tree. A traditional English saddle tree is built of laminated layers of quality wood, and reinforced with steel under the pommel, sides and cantle. The sides that run lengthwise are known as bars and are made with spring steel that has some flexibility. The Kimberly saddle's seat is built with webbing slung from the tree with substantial padding that provides a very comfortable ride.
Even though this Kimberley Stock Saddles has a horn like a western saddle, the basic structure of an Aussie Saddle is similar to an English saddle. The frame of the saddle is sturdier and a little larger than its English counterpart. The seat is deeper, and tends to be wider at the cantle.
This affordable price includes saddle, 2" leathers, stirrups, and girth!
The 4 1/2" deep seat and 4" poleys give you fabulous security. Length of flap from center of seat to botton of flap is approximately 24". Flap length will vary slightly with seat size.
It's also lightweight and easy to lift up on your horse - approximately 20 lbs. The wool serge panels in the medium gullet width with traditional flocking will fit horses with medium to high withers, and can be reflocked if ever necessary. Choose the wide gullet width for rounder horses, or send in a tracing of your withers and the gullet width can be customized the to your horse.
For the girth size, measure all away around your horse's heart girth. Click on Sizing and Measurements tab for instructions on how to measure for your girth.
Flap length: From middle of 18" seat to bottom of flap = 24" (This measurement varies slightly according to seat size)
You'll feel like the Man from Snowy River every time you ride in it!

How to Take a Heart Girth Measurement
Whether your choose to go with a standard girth that is included with the price of the saddle you are buying, or choosing another Aussie girth send us a heart girth measurement for your horse and saddle.  To take a heart girth measurement, note where an Australian saddle will sit on your horse when properly positioned. The front edge of the saddle will be forward, on the withers, directly above the back edge of your horse's front leg. The red line shows where the front edge of the saddle will be, and is also the location where you should make a wither tracing if you are buying a new saddle. The green line is where you should measure the entire circumference of your horse. It should be where the girth will go, which is about 4 inches behind the red line, or front edge of the saddle. Use a soft or flexible measuring tape to measure the entire distance around your horse at the point of the green line. Send us the measurement, in inches, and we will make sure you receive the proper size girth!
