Thanks for your reply. I did go to the Aussie saddle and I love it. I can feel the horse better and he is much happier. Peruvian gear is to hot and heavy for what I use my horse for. Have fun!

HI! I use an Aussie saddle on my mare when I go for long rides. I didnt like it at first. I thought it sat me to far forward, but after I took some of the stuffing out and rode her in it, it conformed to her back very nicely. I still use my peruvian…
I have seen the site Sycamore Creek Saddles they look real nice and most Paso saddles fit Peruvians
I bought a trail saddle from a Ranch named
Ranchodelrey.com ( their saddles fit most gaited types horses)
I bought their Tereque 1 it weighs 17 lbs…
I went with a Brenda Imus 4 beat saddle. My wide backed Peruvian is comfortable and so am I. This saddle only weighs around 13 lbs. These saddles are made for gaited horses, they have the rounded back for short backed horses as well. Check it out or…

I've been using a Tucker plantation saddle, and it fits my wide-backed Peruvian horse very well, without restricting his gait. It also has a gel cushion seat, so it's very comfortable for me, as well.
In Lima there is a Lady who sells saddles with a combination of Colombian and Peruvian style, and the saddles are very light, and very confortable, any more info I can give you her phone # .actually I have one for sale only 1 time use.
My wife use o…
I do not think an Australian saddle would restrict a Peruvian much. However, I am not completely familiar with them. An easier solution in my eyes would be to get a Peruvian work saddle with the basics. You can also take the floron and retrancas off…

- Yes, mine is a synthetic australian saddle. Just visted the website downunderweb.com and they have a few in their clearance section. You can call and talk to them. They were very helpful to me with getting a good wither tracing. I was new to peruvian horses and australian saddles at the time.

- Lucy- Welcome to Peruvian Horse World! We are glad to have you join us here and hope you enjoy the site.
I see you are looking for help with saddle choice and fit. Any type of saddle will work as long as it properly fits your horses back, and does not restrict his shoulder movement. I know you have been looking at the Aussie saddles, have you checked out the Raintree Tack site, www.raintreetack.com? They have western style saddles, with smaller skirts than the Peruvian saddles, they may be lighter than the traditional Peruvian tack.
Let me know if you need any help at all getting the most from the site.

- I have been using an australian saddle for a number of years. I'm with you on the weight. That's why I chose the synthetic saddle. Easy to handle, easy to keep clean and economical. With proper fit these saddles do not interfere with the shoulder. Do a google search for Down Under Australian Saddles. Some of the gaited horse saddles like the Tucker are very good and very comfortable too but then we're back to a heavy saddle again.

- Any person who can help me with a saddle problem. I want to switch my peruvian tack which I find heavy for a lighter saddle like an austrailian. I have tried one and I liked it and my horse seemed to. I was able to feel him movements better. My concern is the fit. I do not want to hurt him in any way. He is not in shows.....strickly pleasure. Thanks.
