The saddles in the Down Under Collection are simply the best Aussie style saddles made outside of Australia. Australian style saddles are more comfortable for the rider and horse, lighter weight, and more secure than a Western saddle. They make fantastic trail saddles, as well as all around working saddles.

Down Under Darwin Special
$1,095.00
SAD 366
|
|
Endorsed and Ridden by Al Ragusin!
The Darwin Special was designed by and developed especially for Al Ragusin, World famous trainer and dancing horse performer. Al told us exactly what he wants in a saddle, and this is it! This is the saddle that he now rides for all purposes. Al recommends using an Equipedic pad for exceptional fitment and comfort for your horse.

Darwin has a history of being an important terminus for cattle drives in Australia (as featured in the 2008 movie "Australia"). The Darwin Special saddle honors the toughness and hard working style of the men and women on Australia's stations (cattle ranches). Like most working saddles in Australia, the Darwin Special has tough, close contact wool felt panels. It also has the deepest seat of any Down Under saddle. The deep, comfortable seat makes this an ideal saddle for long trail rides. With nickle fittings and white stitching, this saddle has a striking Western look to it.
Because of the close contact panels, we recommend using an Equipedic pad, sheepskin pad, or high quality western pad with this saddle. Like our fleece panel saddles, the Darwin Special works well on lower withered and broad backed horses. Just send us a wither tracing and we can tell you if it is right for your horse. We can even custom fit the saddle to your wither tracing at no additional cost!
Weight: Approx. 31 lbs. without fittings (larger seat sizes will weigh slightly more)
Depth of Seat: 5" Kneepads: 4"
Leather: Smooth, drum dyed Color: Black
Introductory Special! Buy the Darwin Special saddle and get a fabulous Equipedic saddle pad for just $100 - normally $229. Read all about the many benefits of Equipedic saddle pads.
