Australian Stock Saddle

A friend of mine was cleaning out her barn and decided to get rid of some old tack. She was selling an Australian Stock saddle, so I sent her a message. The wonderful woman said she would give it to me if I just paid shipping.

I am super excited. Aussie saddles are supposed to be some of the most comfortable and diverse trail saddles out there. They are styled like a combination of English and Western saddles.

Generally, the have a soft, deep seat designed for hours of riding. Another standard feature is the knee guards designed to keep the rider in the saddle.

The saddle needed a bit of TLC, so look for my post on restoring the saddle. I will go over how to oil and clean.
