Snowy River Saddle – Handsome, Timeless, and Totally Functional

Experience the classic elegance of the Snowy River Australian saddle, engineered for all‑day comfort and secure, confident riding.

Why It Stands Apart

Crossover Design – Combines a Western‑style fleece panel with the traditional Australian saddle tree and poleys. The fleece spreads the rider’s weight across a broader surface, reducing pressure points on the horse’s back.
Forward‑Angled Horn – The horn is bolted to the steel gullet and angled forward, keeping it out of the way while still providing a solid anchor for the rider. This geometry enhances both security and comfort during long rides.
Premium Sheepskin Panel – A thick, high‑grade sheepskin insert adds a plush, close‑contact feel, allowing you to connect more intimately with your horse.

Christine Rivet – September 7, 2016

I’ve ridden horses for 45+ yrs. and this saddle has to be the most comfortable I’ve ever ridden in. I thought my riding days were going to be far and few between as my hips and knees would just scream after even a short ride. So I did some research on the Aussie saddles, contacted Amber and ended up with the Snowy River Legend saddle… the best money I’ve ever spent. So if your getting into your senior years like me and have knee and/or hip issues or just plain achy muscles and think your riding days are coming to end, try an Aussie saddle before throwing in the towel. I can’t say enough good things about this saddle and the excellent customer service Amber provided.

Absolutely love this saddle. Been looking for a good saddle for two years. and contacted Amber. She directed me to do a back tracing for correct sizing and I ended up with the snowy river. Excellent saddle and excellent customer service. My advice is to not get the cheap knock offs that have become so popular. Consult this store and get the real deal.
