18.5 inch Aussie / Australian Endurance Saddle w/horn

This quality RideAbout NuBuck endurance saddle, from Kate's Saddle Supply, is built from NuBuck leather; the special tanning process means that a thinner, lighter, more supple leather is produced with no loss of strength. In combination with the lightweight fittings package, this means that this saddle weighs in at around 16lbs fully fitted.

The saddle girths up English style (no overgirth.) Super close-contact design, quilted seat, and lightweight construction make this one of the most comfortable saddles you and your horse will ever experience.

It is suitable for ladies of approximately 12 - 14 st and gents of approximately 16 - 18 st in weight, and built on a medium tree will fit most average horses, though if your horse has a prominent spine or 'lumpy' shoulders (very prominent shoulder bones) this ultra-close contact design is unlikely to suit him / her. The rider weights given are a rough guide - if , for example, you are at the lower end of the weight range and are short for your weight you will need a shorter seat saddle.

It comes fully fitted with Aussie 4-bar brass stirrups, 2.5" wide NuBuck leathers, and sturdy felt-backed girth. As with all Aussie saddles, it's designed to be used over a pad or blanket.

The panels are constructed from leather covered memory cell padding, giving a perfect fit and (at only 19mm thick) the ultimate in close-contact riding. The NuBuck leather, with its unique non-slip surface, offers a touch more security in the saddle.

Australian Endurance saddles offer probably the best endurance-riding experience you will ever have. Also suitable for the trail rider, trekker, or elderly person who doesn't want to be lifting a heavier saddle around!
