Hello everybody,
I am a belgian rider who found recently your WEB server. It is really full
of interrest. I hope he will be regulary updated.

Last year, during a trip in the US, I bought two australian saddles wich are
gorgeous. One is a Poley, the other is ???(dont remember) but it is even
better than the poley.
I didnt think about saddle pads.=20

I currently use western saddles pads but there are not OK for these saddles
: when you ride a long time, the flank of the horse is scrubbed by the
leather. also the leather get full of sweat and will certainly be damaged
after long use.

Does anybody know about australian saddles? Are there matching pads ? Are
there some tricks to remember.

I experiment also another problem with my arab stallion : his shoulder is
touching the edge when the corresponding leg is backwards extended. I think
to cut a few centimeters from the edge. Have you the same problems ?

Thanks (et =E0 la procha=EEne fois...)
