Super heavy duty construction, this saddle is built to last. The deep wide seat offers a new comfort level for the rider, while the extended panels offer better weight distribution over the horses back, less pounds per square inch. Comes standard with thigh pads (for heavy duty trail riding or horse training) and western rigging. Most suited for horses with a wide flat back and lower withers. Available with either the thick wool felt panel as illustrated or a genuine Merino sheepskin panel (all in-stock saddles have the sheepskin panel).

Kneepads 4-1/2", Thigh pads 2", Depth of seat 4-1/2"

New from Syd Hill is the synthetic crossbreed saddle. The halfbreed saddle combines the best elements of both Western and Australian style saddles.  It has the swinging fenders, fleece panels, and rigging system of a Western saddle, but the secure poleys and compact size of an Aussie saddle.

Very light weight (just 15 pounds including stirrups) and comfortable, it is terrific for trail riding or endurance. The saddle is made of a smooth, padded, leather-look synthetic material - chosen for good looks and durability. The seat and poleys are made of a sure-grip synthetic suede material. The tree is made of a durable, light weight RIM plastic material, with steel gullets and waistbands.

You'll especially love the easy care. Just clean with a sponge and hose it off - no oiling required.

Tree widths: Medium
Kneepads: 3 1/4", Depth of seat: 4 1/4"
Weight: approximately 15 lbs. (including the stirrups!)

We have a new brown 17" Syd Hill Synthetic Stock that has a couple of small scuffs in the piping on the Poleys. This is a cosmetic issue only and will not affect the comfort or durability of the saddle.
