I haven't ridden western but have ridden mainly Australian stock saddle but have ridden with an english saddle when I participated in a Gymkhana when I was a teen. I do prefer the Aust saddle and the one thing thats always interested me was the mounting difference of australia to american horsemen.. As a jackeroo made to ride horses that were a bit unpredictable we always took a tight near rein and with 1 swift movement swung up from a position facing the rear of the horse where the American way is to step up into the stirrup facing the front of the horse and then stepping up with 1 fluid movement.. I don't know how easy or right it would be trying to mount using the australian saddle this way.
This information is slightly incorrect. A traditional Australian stock saddle has the winged knee pads in front of the thighs and sometimes behind the thighs as well, and padding like an English saddle. A hybrid or swinging fender saddle more often has a tree like a western, and similar in design, but with the winged knee pads instead of a western swell or pommel. The padding may be western or english but more often western. The stirrup leathers on a hybrid are western fenders instead of english leathers. Your video would be more informative if your images actually matched what was being said. You talked about western or Australian saddles, but showed police officers in english saddles, then a side saddle!
When I go trail riding I use an Australian saddle but regularly I use an English saddle since I’m a jumper and I do cross country and a bit of dressage
What I dont understand is, you are talking about the fit of the australian stock saddle, and showing pictures of english saddles and even a racing saddle? It would have made much more sense to show pics of an Australian STock saddle when discussing this as it just was confusing and didn't demonstrate what you were actually talking about .
Very nice video and very informative as well. If you took your time and went a bit slower I think it would be better for your audience. You have good information but the speed was a bit quick. Best of luck.
Very nice video and very informative. If you went over the information just a bit slower it might be helpful to your audience. Your content was very good but it went by a bit too quickly. Best of luck.
Have you ridden on any of the three types? What do you like or dislike about each type?

Nice to have a comparison of all three types rather than two
Nice amount of information. Direct and to the point. No draaaaging on talking about nothing before getting to the info
Glad you enjoyed!

Yes I was a bit perplexed about the mismatched pics

Endurance saddles (Australian) are my favourite they are great for everything

The Western saddle was developed from Spanish and Mexican design .
