recommend me a small pony saddle for high withered 13.2

[minimex2]

subject to vetting we will have a new arrival. he's currently got a gallop saddle that doesnt fit too well and will be looking to replace. But after googling there doesnt seem anything around for high withered ponies in a 14-15 as the thorowgood highwithered starts ata 17.

would pref synthetic - can anyone suggest anything ?

thanks a lot

We've just had the saddler out for our 2 recently acquired (with tack) ponies - R, a 14.1 chunky NF in a Wintec 2000 and S, a 13.2 skinny Arabx with high wither and dipping back (he's almost 20) in an ancient Falcon which is too narrow, and very uncomfortable for daughter too.

Didn't want to spend a fortune on a new saddle for S as he's mainly companion but gets ridden a little and will do a few outings for a little veteran showing and some fun jumping, and saddler suggested the Wintec with a narrower gullet will fit him well as it is apparently the only Wintec that's a good shape for his shape. So we tried it with the narrower gullet and it did seem to fit far better than the Falcon, and he seemed quite happy with it, and so have ordered a new saddle for R. However I don't think the 2000 comes smaller than 16.

I'd suggest ask your saddler for suggestions.

ETA Good luck with the vetting!
