 A saddlemaker named Jack Wieneke developed a design that was popular for a number of years, but the design over time became too extreme and lost favour to more conservative styles.During the early days of buckjumping in Australian rodeos, riders rode in a modified stock saddle using a crupper instead of the "flank cinch" used in the USA.Ladies stock saddles were traditionally made with a pigskin seat and with longer, pigskin covered knee and thigh pads.
