A Saddle in Pony Play is a seat placed on the back of a Human Pony. Because human anatomy differs significantly from equine, ridden work is uncommon and where it occurs is typically brief, low-weight and ceremonial. Saddles more often serve as ornamental gear or as attachment points for other equipment.

The Human Pony Saddle adapts equestrian gear with attention to human anatomy and safety.

Ridden work raises significant safety questions. Many communities discourage or strictly limit weight-bearing ridden practice.
