No. The saddle is matched to the work the horse has to do.
It all depends on what saddle it is and how strong you are....;) To me, I have to admit its not that heavy....you decide;) I understand what you are saying, but it really depends on the size of the saddle. The bigger inched saddles are heavier than the smaller inched saddles. Some saddles are from 11' inches all the way to 36' inches. The bigger are mostly always heavier! Your welcome!

A numnah is a special type of saddle cloth. It is the same shape as the saddle, usually padded heavily around the edges and very thick. It is often made of wool or a similar material and is very thick and absorbent. It makes good cushioning for a saddle. They are often used under Australian pleasure or work saddles, which are a cross between the deep seat of a Western saddle and lightness and more fitted shape of an English saddle.

for howrse: false No. Many Australians enjoy many different riding disciplines including reining (a western style saddle), dressage, jumping, etc and each discipline has a suitable saddle to go along with it.

Australian saddles, called Aussie saddles or Australian stock saddles are very similar to western saddles American riders use. The main difference is the absence of the saddle horn up front, which allows the rider to fit more comfortable down into the saddle allowing your pelvis to make contact with the surface, which over the course of a 8 hour day will provide greater stability for the rider, less impact on the spine and more maneuverability (center of gravity) for the horse. The seat of an Australian saddle naturally puts the rider in a balanced riding position, with half the rider's weight in the seat and half in the stirrups. The Australian terrain is very different from American terrain, it is very harsh, remote and hard and flat. Horses in Australia are used to work livestock, handling long arduous cattle drives that may take weeks to complete. Due to these conditions where the rider is in the saddle for prolonged periods, day after day, the Australian saddle has evolved from it's American cousin.
