Can I use a Western Pad for my Aussie saddle?

Question: Or is it important to use an Aussie pad? Here's a picture of the saddle I have: http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k7/laddiemommy/mysaddle.jpg

Answer: I use a western. I just use the air ride pad, its a thinner pad and my saddle fits my mule nice. It isn't a barrel pad, its a square pad. The thicker the pad, the more worry for rolling as you try to get on, at least thats what happened in my case. I bought an aussie pad when I bought the saddle, it bunched up and kept trying to slide out underneath, even with being tied on. I wasn't impressed and went to the square western pad.
