07.01.2022 Please note saddle and girth requirements as per Pony Club Queensland. SADDLES, GIRTHS & SURCINGLES A Pony Club saddle is an English-type saddle... A stock saddle (without a horn). Fender saddle (without a horn). Saddle must be worn for competition, unless stated otherwise. Saddles NOT ALLOWED Western saddles are not allowed. Treeless Saddles: Any saddle made without a tree, or those employing a half tree or front arch only are not permitted, Exception for ‘pony pads’ used by young children. ALL SADDLES SHALL HAVE 2 FASTENINGS TO THE GIRTH OR IF ONLY ONE GIRTH FASTENING A SURCINGLE AS WELL (Aug.2014) Homemade girths not permitted must be commercially branded It is acceptable to use a two buckle girth on a saddle with three points. A stock saddle must have a two way point combination either a girth & surcingle, or a Bates Patent & surcingle. Surcingles are also advisable for any form of jumping competition. Surcingle must buckle over top of girth so it cannot pinch. Ensure that they are fitted correctly. If surcingle inhibits the release of the stirrup leather from the stirrup bar, then use of safety/breakaway stirrups is required. If saddle is not made with slots for surcingle, slots must be cut or the surcingle put over the top of the saddle. Any saddle with fixed fenders, for safety, must also be fitted with breakaway stirrups/toe stopper type attachments. The girth points, stirrup leathers & bars, & stitching should be regularly checked by the owner. Saddles must exert no pressure on the withers.
