Hi
I have tried a couple of pony saddles that were still much to big for my mini. I don't know what size they were so I can't compare.
This is telling me I need to look for a saddle designed for a mini.
What size are these?
Does anyone know approximately what age child an 8 or 10" western style saddle will fit?
Depending on the weight of the child I am guessing
a mini can carry up to about a 5yr old child?

Are there English styles that small?

I know how(at least the theory) in how to fit a saddle to a standard size horse, I presume it would be the same for a mini?
Any tips or advice welcome.
