Kids can only ride with the English saddle?

One of my founders' daughter finally aged up into a child and got to go ride her horse for the first time.
I'm playing an historical legacy set in 1850s, in the wild west, so I've equiped all of the horses with western saddles. When my founder, Joseph, rode Banjo for the first time, he used the western saddle I had chosen in CAS.
But when Pearl went for her first ride, the saddle was the English-looking one, with even a white blanket on top of the one I chose in CAS.

I thought that maybe it was a bit of a glitch, but it happened twice, and I looked for screenshots from other players and every time a kid is riding, it's using an English saddle.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it by default because kids are smaller than adults and wouldn't fit on the western one, or is a bug? I play on console, so there's no way this could be related to a mod.

    Indeed... I just went into my game to see it myself and it happened to me too.

    I also changed horse's outfit to saddle outfit before I had my sim mount it. Older sim didn't change anything, but child sim changed the saddle before mounting.
  • It seems strange, but since saddles are normally actually sized to the rider, it makes a certain amount of sense. As it's either have them on the English saddle or add a smaller western saddle that you wouldn't be able to tell was significantly smaller until you tried to have an adult sim use it.
  • It's by default. The larger saddles are not suitable for the position of the child while riding a horse.
  • Too bad that they didn't include a side-saddle. Since many play Historical Saves, having a female of any age ride astride the horse was unthinkable. I am completely scandalized.

    Post Script: I am deeply troubled with just how ignorant the gramma check is, at least the one on Windows. Many is plural and that called for play to be play not plays. Face/palm. Check, check and double-check. And they tell us AI is smart. HA!
