Daintree Australian Saddle – Improving Rider Comfort

The Daintree 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 between 17 – 22 lb (depending on seat size), it remains exceptionally lightweight for long‑hour rides.

Seat Design

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

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