It looks like the cantle on his is taller and the swells bigger. Like yours are roping swells, not barrel swells. I have a cordura saddle but it has a higher cantle than yours and bigger swells too. It's a pleasure saddle. My favorite/most comfortable is my husbands old cutting saddle. The stirrups are set further forward and that's more comfortable to me. It's all smooth leather.
swells?
