Southern Cross saddles can come in a variety of combinations. Black seat and knee pads , and black thigh patch ,on brown leather is popular. Here is how that combination looks with black suede. One advantage of the color combination is that either black or brown strap goods look appropriate. There is no extra charge for black on brown (or brown on black!).
Another version of the Southern Cross Poley in the ever popular black and
tan combo. This saddle has black suede seat and knee pads, but the sude is
only on the rider side of the knee pad, or poley.. Of course, as usual, the
thigh patch is suede...

The
horns on the Southern Cross can be built to any specs. Also, back cantle
rings can be added for hauling game, or for training purposes. Add $100 for
custom horn, and $50 for training rings.

All Southern Cross saddles come with these fittings. |
