Well, it is actually made of leather on a wood frame. The wood frame provides the overall shape.
Mostly because leather is readily available wherever cattle are raised and horses are commonly use to work cattle.
However the internal frame of the saddle that provides its shape is wood and metals are used both to hold the saddle together and as decoration. In special parade saddles large amounts of silver (and sometimes some gold) almost completely cover the saddle.

Argentinian Gaucho Saddle Called Recado Criollo?
The saddle has two chinches (chincha). Everything, stirrups, rope, and even the leather part of the saddle is attached to and covered by the main chinch. The main chinch goes over the leather part of the saddle and all other structural parts. Unlike American saddles, there is no wood or "tree" in the seat of the saddle... just really stiff leather. The leather part has some raised areas in the front and back which would correspond to the pommel (front) and cantle (rear) of the western saddle.... but these were much smaller and made from rocks, covered in rawhide then stitched to the leather. So its leather tubes ;-) I got this from yahoo.answers.com. It is overall a much better site. I am soxroxyursox on Howrse
