It seems to me that Aussie saddles are one of those things you either love 
or hate.  If you like a deep, secure seat that really holds you in, then 
you'll like an Aussie. If, however, you like a wide open seat with lots of 
room to move around, then you'll hate an Aussie.

I personally love them.  I used one on my little Arab when I first started 
in endurance.  It fit me perfectly and I never came out of it -- the only 
saddle I never came out of riding that little horse. :))  It didn't fit 
him so well, though, so we moved on to a custom Desoto saddle which fit us 
both.  I've always wanted another Aussie, and I'm seriously considering 
one for my new horse.  I found the seat to be very secure, and the poleys 
never got in my way, never interfered with posting at all, and definitely 
helped me stay on when Lakota did his "Exit, stage left!" maneuver.
