I love my Aussie. It is the most comfortable and secure saddle I've ever 
had. It doesn't fit my horse, but it is an old model and the cheapest on 
that DownUnder Saddlery sells. I sort of inherited it when my son-in-law 
went overseas. I know they do come in different widths. I really had my 
heart set on trying a treeless saddle but couldn't find on to equal the 
Aussie, so I am making my own. I'll get the first ride in it this weekend. I 
hope I like it!

Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a 
game of solitaire.
It is a grand passion.
It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept 
that his life will be radically changed. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
