stock saddle

Cowboy's riding perch

A stock saddle is a heavy, sturdy saddle designed for working cattle and other livestock, characterized by a deep seat, high cantle, and prominent horn for securing a lasso.

The term covers various regional styles—Western saddles in North America, Australian stock saddles—all built for long hours of ranch work rather than sport or show: He threw the stock saddle over the mare's back and cinched it tight.
