Sueded
seats help the child to stay on too. We bought a 14”Big Horn cordura with sueded seat when our
youngest was 6 yrs old. New price was $300, included girth & bridle too,
and it fit all of our horses as well as our rotund POA. We had to shorten the
stirrups all the way as well as turn them upside down for her toes to touch,
but that’s all that was needed along with the suede seat. Probably would
have made more sense to build up the stirrups, but we did what our
neighbor/horse trainer showed us to do and it worked. Tara
hardly ever slipped out of the saddle, until she was older & getting braver
& trying new things with the POA.
