Perfectly fitting saddles for ponies: tips and recommendations from the saddler

As experienced saddlers and saddlefitters, correctly fitting saddles on ponies presents a particular challenge for us. A perfectly fitting saddle is crucial for your pony's well-being and performance. Unfortunately, the selection of pony saddles on the market is limited, making it difficult to find the ideal model.

To find the right saddle, it is important to consider the specific pony type:

Pony Type 1: This pony type is characterized by a very short, slightly arched back with a sloping topline, pronounced withers, and a small pot belly. For this type, we recommend the Euroriding Achat, for example.

Pony Type 2: This type of pony has a short, straight back, is particularly round-ribbed, and lacks a wither. The Ikonic Hybrid Pony Saddle in 15-inch width with flat panels is ideal for this type of pony.

Pony Type 3: Miniature horse with a slight withers, a straight back, and a roof-shaped rib cage, with an athletic build. We recommend the Prestige Lucky Idol, for example.
