Give your child the best start in the saddle with the all-new Arena Children’s GP; a high-quality, leather general purpose saddle designed to support young riders from their very first lesson to their first rosette.

Carefully engineered with youth-specific features and thoughtfully placed stirrup bars, the Arena Children’s GP encourages natural position and security in the saddle, whether they’re mastering their Up-Downs or preparing for Pony Club shows.

EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution
The EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution is a customisable saddle fitting system designed to grow with your horse. It combines adjustable gullet bars (available in sizes from Medium to XW) with a riser system that allows your saddle fitter to fine-tune the saddle’s fit. This means your saddle can adapt as your horse’s shape changes or even be adjusted for a completely new horse—no permanent changes required!
CAIR® Cushion System
The CAIR® Cushion System replaces traditional flocking with air-filled panels to ensure your horse’s ultimate comfort. These sealed panels work by evenly distributing the rider’s weight across your horse’s back, helping to eliminate pressure points and allowing the panels to move and mould with your horse’s working muscles. This means your horse can enjoy complete freedom of movement, improved blood flow, and support for muscle development.
Please note: The CAIR cushions are completely sealed and do not need inflating.
All adjustments are measurable, symmetrical and completely reversible, ensuring total confidence in your ability to custom fit your saddle to your horse’s changing shape for optimal comfort and performance. It’s EASY!
It is always best to seek Saddle fitting advice from a professional before purchasing or fitting an Arena saddle as it is not just as simple as changing the gullet plate width. The saddle may also need some panel adjustment with specific shimming in areas lacking on the topline or shape of the horse. Our saddle fitters love the Arena saddles due to the variety of models they offer to cover the broad spectrum of horse shapes and sizes.
