I’m looking for recommendations for a riding saddle that would work for young kids (under 10) and would fit well on a donkey.

Our riding donkey is 13h, but I would love to get a saddle that fits slightly smaller donkeys too, as we’re hoping to add a couple of blm donkeys soon.

I’m assuming there’s no good way to convert a pack saddle back and forth for kids riding, but I’d be interested in trying that if that’s possible. We’re not packing yet, but we’re planning on getting a pack saddle setup soon also.

Thanks for any tips!
 
It might be tricky to fit a riding saddle to a donkey so i would try a bunch of them and see how close you can get to making it fit.

Treeless saddles might be a good option too and maybe the direction i would lean first

I have no experience with donkeys yet but you may reach out to hopethewildburroplace on instagram. I believe I’ve seen her post her kids riding on blm sized donkeys. Or Shane weigand that has New Mexico pack burros may be able to help. Best of luck
