Why Families Choose the Inky Dinky Saddle
Finding the right kids saddle is an important decision for any parent. The Inky Dinky Saddle® is designed to give young riders a secure, confidence building seat while allowing them to develop balance and independence naturally from an early age.
Because it's built specifically for children, it supports correct posture and stability during early riding experiences, and it's widely trusted by families, riding schools and equine therapy centres looking for a reliable children's saddle that prioritises safety and comfort.
A Saddle That Fits a Range of Ponies and Horses
Thanks to its adaptable design, the Inky Dinky Saddle works across a wide range of ponies and horses without compromising rider security, including:
- Miniature ponies and Shetlands
- Small ponies and Welsh types
- Family ponies, riding school ponies and cobs
- Larger ponies and smaller horses
That makes it a practical option for growing riders or shared ponies, and a genuine kids pony saddle that doesn't need replacing every time your child moves to a different sized pony.
Growing With Your Child
Many families choose the Inky Dinky Saddle as a toddler's very first saddle, since its secure, supportive design means it can stay with your child well beyond those early lessons rather than needing to be replaced straight away. When your child is ready for the next stage, our transitioning sets are designed to support that progression while keeping the same focus on comfort and confidence.
Materials, Colours and Fit
Every Inky Dinky Saddle is available in a choice of premium leather or synthetic materials, in colours ranging from classic black and brown to pink and purple. For help getting the fit right for your child and pony, see our Fitting Your Saddle guide.
Saddle Accessories
Once you've chosen your Inky Dinky Saddle, our saddle essentials range covers everything else you'll need, including girths, stirrups, stirrup leathers and numnahs and saddle pads.
Complete Your Riding Setup
To kit your child out from head to toe, pair their saddle with the right riding hats and riding boots.
