Re: children's saddles

["Karen Sullivan" <greymare@jps.net>]

My kids, when really little and were riding the Welsh pony started out on a
very deep seat, cheap but effecting tiny Australian Stock saddle that
Jeffers used to sell.  It had a horn and poleys,and with a sheepskin cover
was pretty stable for them; also fit the pony.

At about age 8, both switched over to Sport Saddles, which is what I use on
all my horses.  They are very comfortable in then and they fit all the
horses.  I usually have the stirrups in the back position, which is much
more balanced.
