Long legs/ short body

[Champion1969]

That's me unfortunately for fashion, however I was looking at a girl in the yard riding a 13'2 pony and she had short legs long body and looked too big. Im 5,4 would I look out if place on a 14'1?

Depends, I'm 5ft7, long legs, short body, broad and don't look out of place on a 17.2! Have you got a 14.1? Or are you looking to buy/ride one? you might just need a forward cut saddle?

I have bought her Anneigh, I am looking at saddles this weekend

If you feel comfortable on her, then you're fine. I felt fine on my 15.2, but looked enormous on her! She then got injured and I was too heavy, so she's being ridden by a small 14 year old girl atm, and I'm on the hunt for a bigger Kiki! (my 15.2) Which we have found and is getting vetted tomorrow! (bit too excited!)

I'm 5ft1 with long legs and a short body. Its hell as I'm short enough that I should look ok on ponies but my legs just look wrong sometimes also I have issues as I have a long thigh and shortbacked ponies required smaller saddles so where my ass fits the seat my legs are over the kneerolls
