From the second photo, I would say that doesn't fit at all!

 

[be positive]

I cannot see the first photo, the second one is not great but from that the saddle is far too narrow and banana shaped, having a numnah under doesn't help see what is going on, you cannot actually see the horse.

Too narrow by a long way & also too long, but could be the angle of the pic

Both don't fit at all. Both too narrow, possibly too long in the seat and generally too big overall !

Too curvy is about the only thing you can see from those shots, if you ever want guidance on saddle fit, post photos from this video:

with the saddle firmly girthed up and good lighting, especially the shot from the front. You say Bodmin? A hill pony? They tend to be croup high which makes them need a very short saddle, but they need a very flat tree usually. The back looks pretty flat in the photos, again naked photos - one conformation shot and one showing the back of the wither - can be very helpful.
