It looks as though we are getting custody of our nephew and so we will need to get a kids saddle probably a 14-15 inch as he is 12yrs old..and I know he'll want to ride! We aren't looking for anything fancy ... it just needs to be a full qtr western ....prefer leather .....but we aren't picky...

Thanks....he's got special needs and I think horse therapy will help him a lot. I know what it does for me and I am not special needs!

I'm a bit special needs (since we are so open on here, I don't mind sharing; bipolar, &anxiety), and horse activities are pretty much my therapy, couldn't make it without my horse! Might have a 15 inch saddle, for $50 down at the barn, I'll be down there tomorrow, and check it out.

I have a small saddle, but I think it might be too small. It's probably close to a 13", I could measure it if you haven't gotten one yet. It's free too No cinches on it though. In fact, I should post it on here if you can't use it.

Thanks DeAnne and KigerMustang. He is ADHD and bipolar and is in a very bad way at this time. He is in Oregon and we will know of all his issues in about a month after they finish with all the evaluations. After we move we will be going to visit and see what all is up and do some paperwork. He isn't a big kid so 14-15 " saddle should work. I am going to need a helmet also > we some how managed to break our straps on ours last week when my friends son rode my TB. I am hoping for a deal at Stateline!! lol DeAnne let me know what you find out about the saddle. Kiger- we would be interested if its at least a 14inch.

so sorry, just went out and measured it, and it's a 13 1/2". Very small. My daughter grew so much in the last few months that it doesn't fit her anymore. If you're sure you don't want it, I'll post it on here in case anyone else does.
