12" Dakota Chocolate Pony Saddle 950sch

A compact Dakota pony saddle with a Ralide pony tree, chocolate leather, floral tooling, and a 12-inch seat.

12" Seat Ralide Pony Tree Chocolate Leather Approx. 6–10 lb

The 12" Dakota Chocolate Pony Saddle 950sch is a compact western-style saddle designed for pony riders. It is built on a Ralide pony tree and finished in rich chocolate leather for a traditional look.

Floral stamping adds decorative western detail, while the covered stirrup setup complements the saddle's practical pony-sized design.

Please Note: Dakota is temporarily installing aluminum stirrups on this saddle until the standard stirrups become available again.

Pony-Sized Design

A 12-inch seat and Ralide pony tree create a compact configuration sized specifically for pony use.

Classic Western Style

Chocolate leather with floral stamping gives the saddle a warm, traditional western presentation.

Lightweight Build

An approximate weight of 6 to 10 pounds keeps the saddle manageable for a smaller pony setup.

Western Saddle Seat Size Calculator

*NOTE FOR CHILDREN OR YOUTH SIZES SMALLER THAN 14" When measuring for a child's Western saddle, have them sit down in a chair. Once seated, use a measuring tape to measure the length of their upper leg from the knee to their rear. The saddle should be about 10% longer than the child's upper leg. For example: If the child's leg measures 9 inches, then the child's Western saddle should be 10 inches.

Calculated Seat Size:



There is a lot of room for personal preference with seat sizing, but as a general rule it is better to error on the side of ordering a seat size that is too large rather than erring on the side of a seat that will be too small.

Things to Consider

  • Tucker adds 1/2inch to their seat sizes (due to thick seat padding)
    16.5” Tucker = 16” normally

  • Barrel riders usually take 1” less on the seat size
    16” Trail Rider = 15” Barrel Rider

  • Ranch (slick seats) usually ride smaller (1/2inch seat size) so they don’t slide around
    16” is for most men, 15” for most women

  • Trail Saddles with High Cantles (5”) make the seat sizes feel smaller
    Trail Saddle with 5” cantle will feel smaller in the seat than one with a 3.5” cantle

  • English Saddles don’t convert exactly but often are 2” bigger
    18” English = 16” Western

  • Riders with inseams under 30” or 5’ tall and under often need custom cut fenders
    Tall riders with long legs but lighter weight may need custom cut fenders as well



Checking the Fit

  • General Guideline is about 3 fingers between your thigh and the swell.

Customer service was top-notch! Super responsive in helping us pick out and design a semi-custom Dakota saddle for my daughter. Ordered it on October 29th and just happened to get it delivered on December 24th, right in time for Christmas! I would highly recommend Horse Saddle Shop to anyone looking for a new saddle!

Worked with Josh on multiple occasions. Fast response, thorough on answers, hassle free. This place was great! Came back to buy a second saddle from them as well. This will be my first place to look when I need something and even for my next saddle.

After so much searching and being nervous about ordering a saddle online. I picked up the phone and called the Horse Saddle Shop to ask a few questions about a used saddle that was on their website. They were so nice and helpful. I ordered my very lightly used Circle Y saddle and a new saddle pad. It arrived very quickly. Only a few days. I LOVE my new saddle. In great condition and rides great! I would highly recommend using them for your tack needs. I know I will be in the future!
