It sounds like you may have a 'youth' saddle. A pony saddle is pretty small and you would be able to tell right away that it was meant for ponies. A youth saddle is meant for that in-between stage when the rider has outgrown a pony saddle and is still to small for a full sized horse saddle. To find out you can measure the saddle's tree. Take a tape measure and start at the pommel and run the tape to the cantle. This will give you an idea of the size of the tree which is what the entire saddle is based on.

It is essential this fits well, as a bad fit may lead to sore, dry spots, and skin rashes, bucking, lameness, back pain and many other problems.The length of the femur (thigh bone) of the rider also determines the LENGTH of the tree of the saddle (pommel - cantle length). If this is too short, a rider will be positioned too far back - too long and there will be too much seat for the rider to fill.Saddle lengths between English and Western saddles can differ by 2 inches.It is best to have a saddle fitter our to determine the size of saddle you will need, that or visit a saddle shop.
