Glad to have the buzz back after the slow net weekend.
My 11 yo daughter needs an english seat size 15 endurance saddle. She's
been riding in her all purpose english saddle but alas as youngsters do
she is growing out of the seat:)
I'd like to put her in something with a rounded pommel like the A-Betta
or Big Horn endurance saddle, but they don't make a small enough seat.
All I've found is 15,16,17 inch in western sizing..bigger than english
sizing.
I also like the aussie saddles with their polleys and rounded pommels,
but their weight is bad on the ones I've seen. I've got Australian
Connection, Libertyville, Dover, and State Line catalogs. They have nice
saddles, but don't really come in youth sizes. Libertyville has a nice
selection of aussies, but their quality is suspect.
Anyone have any recommendations they'd like to share?
Please Help:)

My daughter, who is 9, and about 90lbs, is riding in my 14" Sport
Saddle. I have both a Schooling and Training, and an endurance,
and she alternates between them. My friends daughter, also 9, but
much smaller, is riding in a 14.5 Schooling and Training model. It
has a sheepskin cover, with a piece of foam over the cantle, to
shorten the seat, and she seems quite comfortable in it.
My daughter previously was in one of those cheap youth aussie
saddles from Jeffers. It was quite secure, but too heavy, and
not very well made. But worked okay for several years. My son is
learning to ride in it, but I sure do prefer the Sport saddles for
the horses!
