has anyone got one of these on their pony and are they any good? my mare is 14hh and i need a saddle to buy for her which is adjustable and this seems ideal?
 
Not that particular one but I do have a new Kent and Masters saddle. They are lovely and comfy to sit in and my horse seemed always to be happy and comfortable in it.
I always felt a little tipped forwards in it though and like my lower leg was in the wrong position.
I mentioned this to a different saddler and he said its a fairly common problem and can be easily solved (well not in my case but before you buy!) by going up a half seat size. Apparently the seat shape sometimes makes riders sit like I had described.
Other than that issue I've had no problems and would have been very pleased with it so I'd say yes good choice but be sure to ride well in it before buying and maybe even try a half inch larger seat to compare.
 
the pony long leg is for long legged teenagers or small adults to ride in so only goes up to 16.5, if its too small will have to get the kent and masters cob saddle.
 
I have the cob saddle and although I love it I again fell into the trap of not getting half a seat size up so it tips me forward. Make sure you try a larger seat size so it doesn't tip you. Otherwise it's a really beautiful, comfy saddle :)
 
DawnR - did you get the pony long legged in the end. If so just wondering what you thought of it.
It's one I've short listed for my 14h pony but can't see many reviews on them!
