I have a wide section B gelding who is 13hh and my seat size is 15 inch western. (16 inch english). Also, Is there some way I can measure his gullet size as this would help to find the right saddle? Thanks for any replies :)

  1. hmm i'm sure you can find a smaller saddle onlineif you search around i know some sellers make saddles JUST for PONIES! so search around onlinefor "pony tack" or something

    my freind has 3 western saddles they are 13 inch though but were made smaller just for small barreled ponies!


  2. I'd look at round skirted Arabian treed saddles.  Shorter skirt size and wider trees should help fit your pony.

    You can make a wire shape of his withers and take that to the tack store with you.

  3. Some Arabian saddles might fit...they are built for shorter backs and the tree is wider for the barrel shape of an Arabian.  Look for a saddle fitting site online and you can find out how to measure.  You should also measure the length of his back....you may have to go with a pony breed saddle.

  4. I haflinger saddle would fit a wide welsh or maybe a full quarter horse bars saddle. I would probably get a round skirt becuase of how short there backs are.
