Size Guide
The chart shows the main measurements of the Arena Pony Cob General Purpose for each seat size. Use it to compare with the saddle your young rider uses now.
For your young rider
- Seat size depends on their build, the length of their thigh and the riding they do, so compare with a saddle they already find comfortable.
- If they are between sizes, try both if you can, or ask your saddle fitter or retailer.
For your pony
- Fit is about comfort, balance and how your pony moves, not one number on a chart, so we would always start with a qualified saddle fitter you trust.
- The width can be changed with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE, so you or your saddle fitter can adjust it as your pony changes shape.
Measurements are a guide only. They are rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm and then converted to inches, and the organic shape of saddlery means small differences between pieces are normal.
-
I have WIDE gullets from my Arena Wide saddle. Will they fit?
Yes. Arena Wide saddles are now called Arena Cob, and they still use the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE (1XW to 4XW), so the WIDE gullets you already have will fit.Does the Arena Pony Cob General Purpose take standard gullets?
No. It is a WIDE saddle, so it takes WIDE plates (1XW to 4XW) only. Standard plates can distort the tree and are not covered by the warranty.Which riser pack fits the Arena Pony Cob General Purpose?
Pony saddles use the EASY-CHANGE Riser System: Pony/Jump Pack. The Standard Pack and Standard Starter Pack are not suitable for pony saddles. -
Approximate weight: 4.6 kg/10.1 lb. Weights vary a little by size and options. Fitted with a 2XW (lilac) gullet from the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE, and it takes WIDE gullets only. The EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE: Complete Kit, EASY-CHANGE Riser System: Pony/Jump Pack and EASY-CHANGE Gullet Gauge are available separately, as are a girth and stirrup leathers. Fit is about comfort, balance and how your horse moves, not one number on a chart, so we would always start with a qualified saddle fitter you trust.

- Clean the leather with Arena Glycerine Soap to remove surface dirt and oil, let it dry, then condition it with Arena Leather Balsam.
- Both come in the Arena Leather Care Pack.
- Wipe the technical lining clean with a damp cloth.
- The CAIR cushions are never adjusted themselves, and opening the CAIR security tape voids the warranty.
