I can't tell if the western saddle I have is for a pony or a horse how can I tell?
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.

How do you ride a pony that bucks without being bucked off?
Try this- get a crop. VERY important. Then, put a dressage saddle on the horse (or western, the heaviest one you have lol) and mount the pony. Be flexible, and NOT stiff- also very important. When he goes to buck, sit back in the saddle and give him a good kick in the ribs (this worked on my horse that loves to buck). If a kick doesn't work, give him a good smack with your crop. Don't be afraid; do you think that a crop would hurt your pony more than another pony kicking him, full blast in the paddock? Hope this helps. ^^

What is the use of bridle and saddle on a horse?
Bridles Bridles are used to guide the horse or pony, as the reins are attached to the bit which goes into his mouth. If you tug gently on one side, the horse or pony will turn in that direction. Bridles can also be used to attach blinkers which can be helpful on a busy road. Blinkers cover the side of the eyes so that the horse can't see traffic and therefore does not spook at vehicles and bikes. You can also attach martingales to a bridle. The other end of a martingale clips or Velcros onto the saddle girth and stops the horse or pony throwing its head up. Saddles Saddles help the rider stay on, as they can balance themselves in the stirrups and grip with their knees. If there wasn't a saddle, riders could easily slip off. Girths are provided to hold the saddle on. There are a range of saddles such as jumping - useful for getting or knees into grip, dressage - a comfy saddle for sitting work and general - a normal saddle for all differnet types of riding!
