Daintree Australian Saddle – Improving Rider Comfort

The Daintree Australian saddle combines a sleek look with rider comfort in mind. By concealing the stirrup bar beneath the leather panel, the saddle eliminates thigh‑to‑stirrup contact, allowing a freer leg position. Weighing roughly 20 lb (depending on seat size), it remains exceptionally lightweight for long‑hour rides.

Seat Design

Every Daintree saddle features our signature suspended web seat with a narrow twist, providing long‑ride comfort and preventing the hips from feeling spread across the saddle. This ergonomic shape makes the Daintree ideal for endurance riding, polo cross, and leisurely trail outings.

Tree & Gullet System

The saddle features our new synthetic flex tree, equipped with adjustable gullet plates and a no-horn design. You’ll never need to ship the saddle back or visit a fitter—swap the three included gullet‑width plates to match your horse’s conformation. Changing plates is quick and tool‑free; a step‑by‑step guide is available in our YouTube tutorial.

Our new synthetic flex tree moves in harmony with your horse’s movements. The tree is designed to accommodate your horse’s natural side-to-side back movement and shoulder rotation. These are small movements in the tree that are enough to provide better freedom of movement for your horse.

Note: A horn‑equipped version of the Daintree also uses the synthetic tree. However, the horn option requires adjustment on a hydraulic press.
