Looks like an aussie saddle..


I think the reason people don't like horses jumping in western saddles, is being they don't conform to the horse and just kind of "clunk" there. I'm sure after a while (like jumping 3-4 times a week) the horse would develop a sore back. But occasionally I don't think it'd hurt. I think of it this way - if I'm out trail riding in the western saddle and a log is in our way.. just jump it! :)

If you landed weird though.. that horn would hurt ;)
