The Ride Along 9" Buddy Seat Kid Saddle Western Saddle Attachment

This thing is fabulous! My 4 year old daughter absolutely loves going out on trail rides with us in this. Here are some things to note:- It took us a few rides to figure out how it was supposed to be attached. It did not come with instructions and the seller didn’t email any after the order (as sellers sometimes do). Finally I googled it....the straps go through the buckles on the cinch...which is not intuitive at all. The 1st few rides we were able to use it by attaching it to the buckles for the latigo and chest strap, but it did slide around a bit. Now that it’s attached correctly it’s not going anywhere. So just know that if it “doesn’t work right” it might be bc it’s not attached where it’s designed to be attached.- It’s way bigger (longer) than it appears in the photos. I had hoped to use it on either my Gypsy or my POA, but it won’t fit on anyone except my 15.2 quarter horse.- You’re gonna need a bomb proof horse, a horse that’s packed before or be prepared to spend time working with your horse with it on before putting a kid in it. My horse is dead broke, absolutely bomb proof and has done a little of everything...but it does cover most of his ass....so if your horse has never worked with weight right up to their tailbone try it with a sack of potatoes first.In short, on the right horse, this thing works great and my kid loves it.

We have only been able to use this saddle a handful of times before one of the straps completely tore off. I am glad it did not happen during riding with my son in the saddle but we are still pretty upset because we loved this saddle otherwise. Sadly poor quality for this price 😞

It was exactly what I was looking for! Easy to attach to my saddle for my youngest to ride along with me. The handle keeps him steady and the stirrups are easy to adjust. He is 5 years old and rather large for his age and this saddle furs him room to grow until he’s old enough to ride solo. We’ve only gone on short rides so far (less than an hour), but there are no complaints from my little rider. The only thing that is missing is a spot for him to put his water bottle 😂

Very sturdy and our daughter loves it! Need to make sure horse can/will accept weight further back.

My 3 year old granddaughter trail rode over 3 hours in this saddle, with me. It works wonderfully! She felt secure and was easily able to hold herself securely.

Perfect. And comfortable for my littles

This is an awesome buy!! My daughter loves using her buddy seat kid saddle while riding with me!!!Very comfortable and the price is right on point!!!!

I love it. It’s perfect
