HKM Shetland Pony Saddle Beginner

Product Information

When it comes to selecting a saddle for a Shetland pony, it’s crucial to consider their unique conformation.

The width setting of the saddle is also a key factor in ensuring a comfortable and secure fit, keeping in mind the pony’s relatively smaller size. Disciplines To ensure the correct length of girth, I require the measurement all the way around the pony where a girth or lunging roller normally lies, i.e. the circumference.
