    • Highly recommend! We gait, run and jump. The stirrups get plenty short for my son!
Color: Black

Very happy with this purchase. Our other buddy saddle’s stirrups would not get short enough to allow my four year old to use the stirrups. This one is perfect! I love how high the front and back are, and my son loves the freedom he has now gained. I did have him hold onto my belt instead of the handles, but that’s only so I felt more secure with him being back there. We walked, gaited and cantered and the saddle stayed secure. Be sure to find a video on correct way to attach. Once I attached it twice, I had it down perfectly. I did tie knots in the slack right before the buckle just for added piece of mind. ... show more

    • My kid loves it
Color: Black
This thing is fabulous! My 4 year old daughter absolutely loves going out on trail rides with us in this. Here are some things to note: - It took us a few rides to figure out how it was supposed to be attached. It did not come with instructions and the seller didn’t email any after the order (as sellers sometimes do). Finally I googled it....the straps go through the buckles on the cinch...which is not intuitive at all. The 1st few rides we were able to use it by attaching it to the buckles for the latigo and chest strap, but it did slide around a bit. Now that it’s attached correctly it’s not going anywhere. So just know that if it “doesn’t work right” it might be bc it’s not attached where it’s designed to be attached. - It’s way bigger (longer) than it appears in the photos. I had hoped to use it on either my Gypsy or my POA, but it won’t fit on anyone except my 15.2 quarter horse. - You’re gonna need a bomb proof horse, a horse that’s packed before or be prepared to spend time working with your horse with it on before putting a kid in it. My horse is dead broke, absolutely bomb proof and has done a little of everything...but it does cover most of his ass....so if your horse has never worked with weight right up to their tailbone try it with a sack of potatoes first. In short, on the right horse, this thing works great and my kid loves it. ... show more

    • Love this!!!
Color: Black
I bought this for my twin daughter's to be able to join during trail rides. We decided to buy 1 to try and We used it the same day it came in and LOVED IT! My daughter said it was extremely comfortable. It was easy to secure to the saddle. After a 2 hour ride it was still secure and never slipped. I absolutely recommend this product! I will be purchasing a 2nd one for my other daughter and our other horse. ... show more

    • Mini saddle
Color: Black
I ride a large draft horse and this works great behind my western saddle! My 3 yr old loves riding and this give her freedom while ensuring her safety. It's highly flexible, and is easy to secure.

We have only been able to use this saddle a handful of times before one of the straps completely tore off. I am glad it did not happen during riding with my son in the saddle but we are still pretty upset because we loved this saddle otherwise. Sadly poor quality for this price 😞

    • great purchase
Color: Black
fits great, my 6 yr old loves it, she is fairly tall for her age too, and I believe it will last her til she can ride solo. as of now she has put over 25 miles on it and never complains about being uncomfortable. up and down hills, no problem, cinched up nice and is very secure. make sure you run back straps on seat to front rings on saddle, front straps on seat attach to back of saddle. happy trails! ... show more

    • Easy to install and adjust
Color: Black
It was exactly what I was looking for! Easy to attach to my saddle for my youngest to ride along with me. The handle keeps him steady and the stirrups are easy to adjust. He is 5 years old and rather large for his age and this saddle furs him room to grow until he’s old enough to ride solo. We’ve only gone on short rides so far (less than an hour), but there are no complaints from my little rider. The only thing that is missing is a spot for him to put his water bottle 😂 ... show more
