Saddle 1

Overall view: Saddle is fine

Length: 14 is fitting within the required params and will suit the kids who will ride him.

Gullet channel: 

Gullet angle to shoulder: Good

Shoulder: Room to slide fingers down front of saddle flaps

Cantle:

Panel: The panels aren’t very deep so the saddle fits low on back giving small clearance un the cantle channel space and gullet space. No room to flock

Lateral:

Cranial nerve:

Saddle fit for rider: Small kids are fine, as long as not too tall

Saddle 1

Lateral balance: Even – L slip – R slip

Longitudinal balance: Even – Front low – Rear low – Rear tip, due to tree shape

Gullet clearance: Low (1 finger)  – Acceptable

Walk: Balance and stable

Notes: 

A lovely pony with no vices. Very short back so a tiny saddle and the working hunter was a much better options than the GP.
