Pony tack
Pony tack is similar in most respects to that of regular
horses. However, since the animals are smaller, the equipment generally
is as well. Companies that deal exclusively with pony gear are not as
prevalent as those that make equine supplies.
Saddles are one of the most important pieces of pony tack. These saddles
are similar in appearance to English saddles for a regular horse. In
most cases, these saddles are designed to accommodate younger riders,
as most ponies are ridden by children and adolescents.
As with other types of horses, pony tack for dressage is common. For
dressage, a minimal amount of tack is required. The basic items are
a saddle, noseband and bit.
