For Ambitious Young Riders
When Nelson's own son, Rodrigo, began riding, Nelson discovered that most pony saddles were simply downsized adult saddles. To make riding easier for his son, Nelson adjusted the seat by making the twist and the width suitable for a young rider's body.
To fit the pony's wider back and lower withers, Nelson spent weeks measuring ponie's backs, and testing trees and panels before they finalized the new design. Today, Rodrigo continues in his father's footsteps competing at the Olympic level.
This Rodrigo saddle is not just sized and balanced for young riders and ponies, it is also priced so every parent who wants their child to ride properly and compete - can do so easily.
When young riders ride in properly designed and sized saddles, they achieve a more balanced and effective seat, riding becomes more enjoyable and they can move into competition with greater confidence.
Made in durable Oakbark leather and smooth kneepads.
Also available in short flap length in seat sizes 14'' and 15''.


New English saddles do not include fittings or girth.
