I typed "Mattes Western Seat Saver" into Yahoo and several entries came up, in several different styles.

I think that Cashel also makes seat savers that may work for you.  I have not tried the Cashels because the Mattes did what I want and I think there may be more ventilation with the sheepskin.

I got mine at my "local" tack store.  It is a Mattes (brand name.)  If I remember correctly I had to order it through the tack store. 

I mostly ride English, and got the Western seat saver when I saw how effective the English Mattes seat saver was for my English saddle whose seat padding had worn out completely,. Before I used it I got great pain in my fundament, now the saddle does not bother me at all.

Thank you Jackie!  Are there any equestrian accessories websites that you would recommend to find seat savers?

I got a sheepskin "seat-saver".

Anyone out there have a recommendation for a "tush cushion"...for western riding saddle?  I think I might benefit as the tailbone is a bit sore

Thanks!

Gayle, just had to respond to your comment re the great time you are having with your riding. I, too started riding late (at age 50)and sometimes felt maybe it was too late to start, but I did stick with it and now, at 60, I have three horses of my own and have grandchildren who like to spend time at the barn with me. It's wonderful, as you say, and I too, hope to be able to ride for all the years ahead.

I agree Joe.  These people had an eventing gelding they bought for their daughter. She does mainly flat, dressage etc. The gelding would work lovely at home, then blow up in a competition setting. They gave him a yr before deciding he wasnt' the one. So that story did reassure me. It is quite heart wrenching to sell them, especially after you have raised them. And then the prospect of them getting passed around is not good either. So I am counting on my making a good judgement on these people. Thanks for your comments!

Sold my youngest horse today. I don't feel too bad! Surprisingly! He has gone to a nice home (hopefully), at least that's the way I feel now! haha.
