Bambino Pony Gear & Tack
Colourful pony tack and gear designed exclusively for ponies and their young riders. Rainbow and unicorn themed halters, leads, saddle pads, reins and accessories.
Getting a young rider set up with gear that actually fits their pony is harder than it should be. Adult horse equipment is too big for ponies and undersized gear creates safety and handling problems that undermine a child's confidence and experience. Bambino is a pony-specific equestrian gear range designed exclusively for ponies and their small riders, offering the right sizing, the right construction and the kind of colourful, personality-driven designs that young riders genuinely get excited about. At The Vet Shed we stock a range of Bambino products spanning halters, lead ropes, saddle pads, reins, whips and carry bags.
Designed for Ponies, Not Scaled Down Horses
The key distinction with Bambino is that the products are purpose-designed for pony sizing rather than being smaller versions of full horse equipment. Proper pony sizing means halters that sit correctly on a pony's finer bone structure, lead ropes at a length comfortable for a child to handle, saddle pads with a profile matched to pony back conformation, and reins appropriately weighted and proportioned for small hands. This attention to correct sizing makes Bambino gear genuinely safer and easier to use than generic small sizes from adult ranges.
The Bambino Range at The Vet Shed
The Bambino range covers the key items a young rider and their pony need for everyday handling, riding and competition, all available in the brand's signature colourful styles including rainbow and unicorn themes.
Halters and Leading Equipment: The halter range includes the popular Rainbow Halter available in pony, full and cob sizes, the Nylon Unicorn Halter in navy and pink, and the Knotted Halter and Lead in rainbow for those who prefer a natural horsemanship-style rope halter. Lead rope options include the Rainbow Lead and Poly Unicorn Lead Rope in pink, both matched to the halter styles for a coordinated look.
Riding Equipment: The Bambino Pony Print Saddle Pad in pale blue and pink is sized specifically for pony backs with a cute pony print design that young riders love. The Bambino Pony Reins are proportioned for small hands and a pony's shorter neck, and the Rainbow Pony Club Whip at 65cm is a correctly sized schooling whip for young riders in lessons or pony club.
Accessories: The Bambino Bridle Carry Bag in the Unicorn Limited Edition is a practical and stylish way for young riders to transport and protect their bridle at pony club, shows and competitions.

FAQs About Bambino Pony Gear
What sizes does Bambino cater for?
Bambino is designed specifically for ponies rather than full-sized horses. The halter range covers pony, cob and full sizes to suit the range of pony and smaller horse breeds commonly ridden by children and young adults in Australia. Always check the individual product size description to ensure the right fit for your pony's head and body size.
What is the difference between the Rainbow Halter and the Knotted Halter?
The Rainbow Halter is a traditional nylon halter with buckle fastenings, straightforward to put on and adjust and suitable for everyday leading and tying. The Knotted Halter and Lead is a rope halter in the natural horsemanship style, which applies pressure at different points and is preferred by some trainers for groundwork and leading training. The choice depends on your training approach and what your instructor recommends.
Is the Bambino saddle pad suitable for all pony saddles?
The Bambino Pony Print Saddle Pad is designed for pony-sized saddles. It should sit correctly under most standard pony saddles without excessive overhang at the front or back. If your pony has a particularly short or long back, check the pad dimensions against your saddle's panel length before purchasing.
Is Bambino suitable for pony club use?
Yes. The Bambino range is well suited to pony club use and many of the products are designed with this environment in mind. The 65cm Rainbow Pony Club Whip is sized and styled for junior pony club riders. Check your pony club's specific rules on equipment colours and styles for formal competitions, as some clubs require more conservative gear in the ring while being relaxed about colourful gear for everyday lessons and activities.
What age is Bambino gear suited to?
Bambino gear is designed for young riders and their ponies rather than a specific age group. The fun, colourful designs appeal strongly to children from early primary school age upward, and the correctly proportioned pony sizing makes the equipment appropriate for riders still on ponies rather than full-sized horses. Older riders on smaller horses or cobs may also find the cob and full sizing options in the halter range appropriate.
