[RC] pony-sized endurance saddle search - sherman

Do you currently have any saddle that fits both your daughter and Benny?
You don't need an endurance saddle if the saddle you already have fits
well. The first saddle I bought for my kids for our 13.1H, wide POA, was
an Abetta trail saddle with a 13 or 14" seat. A few years later, that
saddle also fit my daughter's endurance horse and she did many miles of
conditioning with it until she grew out of it. I know a few riders who
have removed the horn from their nice fitting saddles to make them more
appropriate for endurance, rather than search for a new saddle.

My daughter brought tears to her mother's eyes by requesting "a saddle
for Benny" for Christmas. Benny is our large, 1/2 Welsh, 1/4 Arab, 1/4
paint pony.

Anyone out there have suggestions for a saddle that would fit a tiny 9
year old and a large, flat-but-long-backed pony? One that would be good
for LD riding? I'm unfamiliar with pony saddles of any kind. My horse
saddles overwhelm his body, even the Freeform looks pretty silly (though
I ride him in it anyway).

Thank you for any timely suggestions.
