Fit Profile
The Whitaker Barnsley Pony Saddle is best suited to ponies with a flatter back profile and broader build, such as cob-type ponies. Its panel design offers good weight distribution and stability on shorter-backed ponies, helping reduce pressure points and rocking.
Important Note: Saddle fitting is crucial. While a saddle model may be designed for a specific horse type, it's always recommended to have a professional saddle fitter assess both the horse and rider to ensure the best possible fit.
