Both my stock saddle and my barrel saddle are hard seat. I prefer hard seat over a padded seat for aesthetics only. I really can't tell a difference between a hard seat and padded seat. I don't think it makes me feel closer to my horse, I just think it has a cleaner look. As for the padded seat having "more padding" for your butt bones, if a padded saddle has been rode long and hard enough that padding gets pressed down and becomes hard anyways. Your seat feel comes from the ground seat that's put in the saddle.

My stock saddle is custom built on a modified association tree, hard seat, slick leather. I have spent days on end in this saddle. I have drug calves, turned steers, and even ran barrels in it.

My barrel saddle is a Trent Ward, hard seat with an alligator bicycle inlay in rough out.. I LOVE the ground seat in this saddle. The alligator is not slick and the knobby bumps do not hurt my butt.
