Criterion Versatile Horse Saddle for Children

The Versatile Saddle is crafted with a treeless design and adjustable bottom panels that naturally conform to the horse’s back, ensuring optimal comfort. Suitable for most full-size horse breeds, it allows close rider-horse contact and evenly distributes weight, promoting freedom of movement and reducing pressure points.

This is a patented and revolutionary children’s saddle designed to support the rider’s full development. It begins as a secure toddler saddle and, as the rider gains confidence, it transitions into a more open design for experienced riding — offering a seamless journey from beginner to general-purpose use.

The saddle features interchangeable front and back support panels to suit the rider’s stage of development. The back blocks come in two sizes (3.5” and 6”), while the front blocks are available in 4” and 1.5” options — allowing you to tailor the setup for safety, posture, and freedom of movement.

Constructed from rolled synthetic leather with reinforced nylon inserts, the Versatile Saddle offers both durability and comfort. The ergonomic support handle is soft yet strong, and the trigger-hook attachments connect securely to D-rings for added rider control and safety.

The Versatile Saddle is designed to be used with a dressage girth. This type of girth offers better balance and stability for young riders, making it especially suitable for use on full-size horses.

Safety is a priority in every element of the design. The curved safety stirrup bar ensures a secure release angle in case of an emergency, while the detachable balance strap and posture-enhancing blocks offer stability and support — meeting high safety standards for young equestrians.
