Why Choose the Arena Pony Wide General Purpose Saddle?

Finding a saddle that accommodates a broad-backed pony can be challenging. The Arena Pony Wide is designed around this specific fitting requirement, helping riders seek a more balanced position without relying on a standard saddle that may be unsuitable for the pony’s conformation.

Its all-purpose design makes it a versatile option for riders who participate in several activities rather than one specialized discipline. European leather provides a classic appearance, while the movable knee blocks and adjustable fitting systems offer additional flexibility for comfort and fit.

Care and Maintenance

1. Remove dust, sweat, and dirt after each ride using a suitable leather cleaner.
2. Condition the leather according to the manufacturer’s care recommendations.
3. Store the saddle on a suitable saddle rack in a dry, well-ventilated area.
4. Regularly inspect the billets, stitching, panels, and knee blocks for signs of wear.
5. Have the saddle checked periodically to ensure that its fit remains appropriate as the pony’s weight and muscle development change.
