Wild Ride

Showcasing Australia’s largest stock saddle collection, the Drapac Collection, Wild Ride is a sumptuous illustrated history of the iconic Australian stock saddle, from colonial pioneers to Aboriginal stockmen and women, to bushrangers and young horsemen sent to the Boer War.

The Australian stock saddle is a triumph of simple, honest bushcraft by skilled masters of the trade. Developed in the 1800s in response to the challenges of riding vast distances—often through thick virgin bush and scrub country—the national saddle has proven its durability and comfort for more than two centuries.

Wild Ride captures the rich, colourful history of one of the true icons of Australian rural life.
