What size saddle does the average small pony take?

My 13.22hh welsh x has a 14 inch saddle, fits her back and the childs bum nicely.
(saddler said so!)

We have just bought a 11.2hh welsh a, he is wearing a cub saddle for my daughter but has been using a larger saddle for the older person that rides him, (since before i bought him, he was already at the yard so she has continued to ride him)

I want to buy him a bigger saddle but roughly what size is needed?
Ive seen some ponies with what seems like huge saddles on their backs, not good :-(

Sorry for blabbering!
 
Only way to find out is to have a saddle fitter out to see the pony - the length of saddle that a horse or pony of a particular size can take varys enormously from animal to animal so it is pretty much impossible to suggest a size worth trying I'm afraid.
