"...Does anyone have either proof or an
opinion as to whether an Australian saddle ...."
I have an Aussie that is the most secure
seat imaginable. Once your body realizes that by clamping your legs the
poleys will keep you on, it is very hard to be unseated.
The only reason I don't still ride in it is
at my weight I needed a panel system to keep horses backs healthy.
