Help please

Hi, I have just got my daughter a 13.2hh pony. I live in the canary islands and here there are no saddle fitters or any help. She is arriving to us on the 1st. We need to get a saddle for her. Does anyone know what size saddle she is likely to take(max)??

It isn't that simple.

Can you buy tack with her, or at least ask the seller what she's ridden in and get the same?

Do as @carthorse suggests. But in addition.
Some saddle manufacturers have instructions on line with diagrams telling you how to measure up a horse for a saddle. Some incude making a paper or cloth template. A NR friend did this when buying and importing a Western saddle from USA to UK.
The term saddler is unhelpful. As it has two meanings., Most people on NR will buy a saddle from a local saddler who is a retailer and saddle fitter rather than from a "Saddler" who makes saddles.

Echo that it's not that simple. What are the sellers riding her in?

My new Dales pony is 14.1, 3 years old and quite docile, but does not steer. I'm trying a full cheek snaffle with keepers. I've bought 3 saddles: 1 treeless Sensationride, hybrid trail. Way too big. Pony is short backed and wide. Also got a Lovatt & Ricketts XW which doesn't fit. Now I'm using a Cavaletti which I think fits well. Doesn't slip forward on shoulders.

I would advise that you email a saddle fitter for advice. They may not be able to come out to you, but perhaps for a small fee they will give their expert opinion and advice.
