I purchased a black hornless Kimberley Stock as my first Aussie saddle, to see how I felt about it. I was trained english and switched to western which I did not like. Being a middle aged woman I no longer felt english saddles had enough security, and my western saddle caused too much pain in my hips and knees. The Kimberley Stock is excellent! I gave a wither tracing of my horse and photos of him, and my saddle fits him perfectly. It is very comfortable for long (3+ hours) rides. The only negatives are if you have very short legs you may wish to look for a saddle with shorter flaps, you will need some protection on the stirrup leathers to stop the wearing on the flaps, the stirrups have no traction at all and are very wide and heavy, and in my case the poley were not exactly symmetrically in place. It does not affect the saddle use but it bothers me nonetheless. It is a great starter Aussie and my next one will be a much larger investment.

I decided to take a chance and buy the Bad Dog Ranch stock saddle. Wow, I am really happy with this saddle and the leather is really nice, a great improvement over the Downunder saddle I once had; it was a Kimberly and I hated the leather on that saddle. I also have had a couple of Syd Hill saddles. Those had beautiful leather but the flaps were so long it was a problem for me. The Bad Dog Stock saddle has shorter flaps so is great. I sent in wither tracings of my horse so this saddle fits perfectly. And it is very comfortable, I ride in the Sierra Mountains and remain in comfort after hours of riding. Highly recommend.

I LOVE the bad dog ranch Australian stock saddle! It’s a beautiful saddle, well made, and comfortable. Amber was a huge help, she was extremely responsive to all my emails and answered all my questions. My horse is round and large with mutton withers and the saddle is a great fit. I’m really happy with the quality workmanship on the saddle. The stitching is beautiful, and the leather is thick and soft, it has plenty of dee rings. I love the stirrup leathers and they don’t hurt my knees! The stirrup irons are really nice and have good grip- never had a problem loosing stirrups. The flaps aren’t too long like some Australian saddles and I’m really happy about that. The billets are really thick and strong. All the hardware is excellent quality. The saddle seats me in the perfect position and I’ve had the chance to ride in it several times. It’s Immediately comfortable And There’s no breaking in period for the saddle and I’m extremely impressed. I prefer this saddle to my big heavy western saddle. It’s light probably 20lbs and easy to lift onto my horse. It works with both English and western saddle pads, so I can use my whole saddle pad collection with it. I love the serge panels on the bottom of the saddle, they’ve molded to my horses back shape and it fits him even better than when I first got it. It’s really nice to know I can get the saddle readjusted if needed for free. I’ve had many saddles English, western, other Aussie saddles, but this one is by far my favorite one ever, I’d pick my bad dog ranch saddle every time.
