Im an adult pony owner, ive always had ponies and never owned/loaned anything over 14hh.
Alot of people talk about balance with an adult on a pony ive had my mare since she was 2.5 years shes now 10 and i feel very balanced on her, ive got a girl whos taller than me, but ever so light, coming to work and ride with me for 3 weeks, and when she was riding today my mares saddle kept slipping, its never slipped with me, and even when i straightened the saddle and rode, it wouldnt slip with me.
Shes used to riding bigger finer ponies (and horses), than my chunky new forest, so i think its just balance, but until she finds her balance i want something to help keep the saddle straight.
Will a breast plate be sufficient, ive never used one, which style is best? There seem to be lots of different types!
