The package felt so light that I thought it was something else. This makes this saddle easy to handle for everyone, old and young. Obviously it’s going to be so easy to wipe clean which has to be a plus. I’ve had it on our 12.2hh POA only twice because of having to order the correct size girth and Webber’s and it sits nice and level on his back. One rider is a very slim, an11 year old girl and it will just about enable her to ride until I can order something bigger, but the other rider is only 8, so we should get a few years use out of it for her.Beautiful saddle!very nice saddle , it fits with my girth, i use it on a full size horse. i did have to buy kid stirrup's . but it is light that my 3 year old can carry it. and she looks awesome in her own saddle.Granddaughters riding classesJust right for my needs- small saddle for younger children, lightweight, sits on my Icelandic horses just fine. Obviously an easy-to-maintain saddle, it is just what I expected.
