The situation is that my wife is mid 50s, with arthritis being a real problem. The saddle she uses Combo Poley, half breed, swinging fender. Made by Toowoomba saddlery. A great comfortable saddle, but heavy. She is now having trouble throwing it on her mare.

Maarty, we lived at Taihape for a number of years and she used it mustering and competitive trail riding, it really is an arm chair to ride in.

Any opinions on a good quality lighter saddle would be welcome, going to be tough finding something leather I think
