Monja Bastan reviews the Ultra Secure Aussie LT
“The Perfect Saddle for My Hard-to-Fit Horse – and for Me!
I’ve had my TW saddle for about three years now, and I can confidently say it’s been a game-changer for both me and my gelding. When he joined my family at 15 years old, finding a saddle that fit his extremely wide back felt impossible. Every “off-the-shelf” saddle we tried caused discomfort. He’d let me know with little crow hops that it just wasn’t right. After countless failed attempts, I finally tried a TW saddle, and we’ve had zero fit issues ever since!
We now enjoy trail riding, western dressage, and obstacle work in total comfort and style. One of my favorite features are the free-flowing fenders. Unlike the stiff ones on many other saddles, these allow for much easier movement during western dressage and on steep terrain. I also appreciate the lightweight bridle leather, as it doesn’t creak and is easy to carry, which is especially helpful for my back issues.
Being able to customize the saddle with an Aussie pommel on a western base was the cherry on top. It added a level of comfort I didn’t even know I was missing.
I truly love everything about this saddle. Thank you for making such an incredible product!”
At Specialized Saddles and TW Saddlery, we treasure every customer review because it allows us to share real stories of how our saddles impact horse and rider. Monja’s review highlights not only the versatility of the Ultra Secure Aussie LT, but also the confidence that comes from finally finding the right fit. When riders share their reviews, it helps others who may be struggling with similar challenges discover a solution that truly works.
One of the most common themes in rider reviews is the appreciation for our lightweight construction. Saddles that are easy to lift, carry, and place on a tall horse make a huge difference, especially for riders who may have injuries or strength limitations. Many stories mention how a lighter saddle has allowed them to keep riding comfortably even after accidents, surgeries, or simply as they get older. For many, this is life-changing.
Another benefit riders often mention in their reviews is the adjustability of TW Saddlery products. Horses change with age, training, and conditioning, and most traditional saddles can’t keep up. Owners share how they’ve been able to adjust their TW Saddles for multiple horses or refit an existing saddle for a new partner. This flexibility means fewer saddle purchases, less guesswork, and more time spent actually riding.
Comfort for both horse and rider is at the center of almost every review we hear. Riders describe how their horses move more freely, stride out better, and stay more relaxed when the saddle fits properly. For the rider, it often means being able to spend hours in the saddle without soreness or discomfort. These shared experiences remind us that the right fit doesn’t just improve performance — it restores joy in the ride.
Monja also mentioned how friends became interested after trying her saddle. Word-of-mouth and firsthand recommendations in her review are powerful because riders trust the experiences of others. When one person finds success and shares their review, it often inspires another rider to take the next step toward finding their perfect saddle as well.
We also value insights from reviews that point out unique features, such as the free-flowing fenders, lightweight bridle leather, or customizable Aussie pommel. Feedback like this helps us continue refining our saddles and serving riders across many different disciplines.
In the end, every review we receive reminds us why TW Saddlery exists — to provide lightweight, adjustable, and comfortable saddles that truly work for both horse and rider.
