Fit and Compatibility

The Bates Pony Elevation is designed for pony riders, but correct saddle fit depends on the pony’s back shape, wither profile, shoulder movement and the rider’s measurements.

The available seat sizes are generally 15 inches and 16 inches. Confirm the exact size, leather specification and condition before purchasing. Saddle size alone does not determine whether the saddle is suitable for a particular pony.

A qualified saddle fitter should assess the saddle’s balance, wither clearance, panel contact and freedom of movement. For a used saddle, inspect the leather, stitching, tree, panels, girthing points and adjustable knee blocks.
