As title please, what saddles do your children ride in and what type is your preference and why?

I use an Inky Dinky but then my little boy is only 3, only rides occasionally, and is on a 13.2hh with me leading solo, no helpers. I've no ambition for him to do anything other than enjoy a little ride now and again so it's comfortable and safe.

We tend to end up with show type saddles with as much knee roll as I can find! Not really through choice though, it’s just hard to find much else in smaller sizes! Last saddle was a lovatt and rickets 13†which was beautiful. Now onto a Lorimer WH which is lovely 😊

Inky dinky when they’re tiny, then thoroughgood pony club for everyday and Fylde for shows.
With a handle and neck strap on everything!

Sorry should say my daughter is 7 and the pony requires a 15†wide fit (she’s a sticky leg in each corner type)
We have been recommended to use a showing saddle but that’s not my personal preference, but I’m wondering if that’s because as an adult I feel differently?
The ethos being a show cut will let her leg sit closer, but I’d rather her be plugged in to a real GP type!

I’ve heard lots of people liking the thorogood (I think?) pony club endorsed saddles- they come in 15†I think.
