Southern Cross saddles can come in a variety of combinations. Black seat and knee pads , and black thigh patch ,on brown leather is popular. Here is how  that combination looks with black suede. One advantage of the color combination is that either black or brown strap goods look appropriate. There is no extra charge for black on brown (or brown on black!).

The Southern Cross Traditional uses the legendary surcingle, common over history to Australian saddles, in conjunction with the big D, now popular on most Australian saddles.  This system eliminates buckles, and makes it easier to cinch the horse.

 

 

 The horns on the Southern Cross can be built to any specs. Also, back cantle rings can be added for hauling game, or for training purposes. Add $100 for custom horn, and $50 for training rings.

A rear view of a Southern Cross saddle. The two large horse-shoe Ds on either side are for traditional Australian saddle bags. The brackets at the base of the cantle take the straps fitted to our ever-popular cantle bag, and the fall-down Ds higher up on the cantle are for tying on a coat or bedroll. All Southern Cross saddles come with these fittings.
Any Southern Cross saddle can be finished out in Sterling silver, lined with jeweler's gold. Silver Ds and silver buckles are $60 each, fitted. The silver centerpiece for the breastplate is $130 fitted. (ADD) Silver to any Southern Cross saddle without horn, add $700. Add $150 for the silver cap on a horn.

The silver D rings, buckles and centerpiece are highlighted in this picture.
