How to Measure Saddle Seat Size (Western & English Size Chart)
A seat that is too small pushes you against the cantle; too big and you slide around. Here is how to measure a saddle seat correctly and pick your size.
All-purpose, close contact and dressage saddles in supple genuine leather, with wool-flocked panels and a choice of tree widths.
An all-purpose saddle handles flatwork, hacking and small fences, making it the best first English saddle. A close contact saddle has a flatter seat and forward flap for jumping. A dressage saddle has a deep seat and long, straight flap so you can sit tall with a long leg. Compare styles in western vs English saddles.
Choose medium, medium-wide or wide to match your horse's withers and back. Wool-flocked panels can be adjusted by a saddle fitter as your horse's shape changes. The saddle fit guide shows how to check.
Pair your saddle with a hand-stitched bridle, an anatomic girth and stirrup leathers; the tack size guide helps you pick sizes.
An all-purpose saddle is the most versatile choice for beginners, suitable for flatwork, trail and small jumps.
Our English saddles come in medium, medium-wide and wide trees.
