The Aussie saddle is actually a FORWARD SEAT, as in
an English saddle, and certainly NOT A REAR-READING SEAT, as
in a Western saddle. Interestingly, the Aussie saddle is
somewhere in between. At the walk, the rider sits in the back
of the saddle, with the leg slightly forward, and the heels
down. This spreads the bearing weight of the rider not just
under the butt, but also under the thigh, making it more
comfortable for the rider. Which is why we sit in the back of
chairs, not on the edge of them. This rider position does the
same for the horse.
The bearing weight of the rider is thus
spread over a greater surface of the tree, lowering pounds per
square inch for the horse. It is also a much SAFER way to ride. If the horse
at the walk puts his foot in a hole, and drops on his knee,
you may not go over the front, BECAUSE YOU WILL ALREADY HAVE
YOUR FOOT IN A POSITION TO PROP AGAINST A FALL. You will also
be helped by the knee pads, or “poleys”. They are there to
STOP you going over the top.
The straight up and down leg, as
in dressage, and as in Western pleasure, is deadly on the
trail, although it does look pretty in the arena. If the horse
stumbles, and your ankle is inline with your elbow, which is
in line with your shoulders, you will not have time to tell
your brain to tell your foot to get forward to “prop” against
a fall. You will already be on the ground. Now, the faster you
go in an Aussie saddle, the more your weight comes forward,
so, at the full gallop, you should be in the “jockey
position”, with your thighs secured against the knee pads,
your head down, back straight, reins short, and your leg will
AUTOMATICALLY be in full dressage position. This will enable
you to control direction of the horse with leg pressure and
body weight shift— a good thing in thick timber at flap
gallop. Yank mouth, and you’ll certainly buy bark.
And if
you think this is not a good position for a rider on a
galloping horse, check out where they ride on racetracks with
million of dollars in the balance! Put simply, there is NO
saddle more comfortable for the trail horse, AND the rider,
than an Australian stock saddle. It evolved over two centuries
into bush-perfect. The pattern belongs to nobody. The R and D
was done by countless Outback riders who depended on the
saddle for their very life - - and livelihood. When modern
riders discover this unique saddle for American trails, that
is about all they
ride.
