You may already know the size of your saddle. But do you know how much to measure your saddle seat? There are some general guidelines to follow when measuring the seat size of your saddle. The width of the sit bone is the distance between the tops of your buttocks (where your knees meet) and the bottom of your thighs. Your riding style, build, and other factors can affect the size of your saddle. To find out the size of your saddle, try a larger saddle than you normally wear and measure your sit bone.

The conformation of your horse is a good way to determine its saddle size. If your horse has a narrower wither, you may need additional padding behind its saddle bars. Also, you should place a shoulder bridge pad between the saddle bars. A medium-sized tree will suffice for horses of average size. A narrow-withered horse should wear a wide-tree saddle. It should be between the cantle of the horse and his withers at least two fingers wide.

To measure your English saddle's width, you can place your hand in the panel between the pommel and the saddle skirt. The distance between the saddle's nailhead and the saddle's center cantle will be measured. This measurement should be in half-inch increments. A wider saddle means an Extra Wide/XW one, so you may need adjust your first width. Once you have determined the correct measurement for your English saddle it will be much easier and more straightforward to purchase a saddle.

Consider your horse's size when choosing a saddle. A shallow saddle will fit a small, thigh-high rider, while a deep one will suit a big, tall adult. Saddle size charts may not be exact, but they can help double-check your measurements. However, they will not tell you exactly how big or small your sit bone is - so take measurements from two people.

To accurately measure the saddle size of horses, you can use a wire measurement tool. The measuring tool is made of a 16-inch-long piece of stiff wire that can be molded to your horse's shape and retain its shape when removed. Ideal wire is coated or soldered. Its eight-inch-long point can help you accurately measure a horse's wither size. The wire should touch the horse's skin. It should be to the saddle back and flat.

When measuring your saddle, make sure to include the seat size and the cantle size. The finished size of your saddle seat will be smaller than the size of your tree seat. It all depends on what type of saddle you are getting and how the manufacturer made it. A slick seat will be three to 5 inches shorter than a full-padded one. However, if your seat size is longer, consider buying a saddle with a longer fender.

You can also measure the size of your gullet. This is a crucial component of an English saddle. The gullet is a part below the fork that rests upon the horse's withers. The gullet's angle and width determine the saddle size. The proper height of the gullet is between two and four fingers above your saddle fork. You can also measure the horse's gullet height by placing a flexible wire above the horse's withers. This wire should bend into an arch shape.
