Fenders

Fenders for hundreds of years have been standard on western-style saddles. An English-style high boot is not necessary for leg protection. Traditional western fenders are hung over the "rail" of the tree. This means they have to be unbuckled and unthreaded to be removed from the saddle. An important safety feature of Australian saddlery is that fenders - or any other system of carrying a stirrup - is suspended from a hook. This is called a stirrup suspension bar. The design means there is an excellent chance the fender will pull off the hook should the rider get caught in a "drag".

  • The Patrol Poley has stirrup suspension bars system.

  • The Combo Poley and the Darwin Poley both have over-the-rail suspension.

  • All fenders used in the fleece-lined saddles have Blevin - style buckles.
