Frequently Asked Questions About Saddleseat Saddles
What size Saddleseat saddle do I need?
You should base the size of the saddleseat saddle on the length of your thigh from your hip. Once you have that measurement, you can select the right saddle. The most common sizes are 21" and 22", which translates to an upper leg length of up to 20" or 21 ½". To measure your leg, sit in a chair first to get the accurate size. Also, when putting the saddle on your horse, check to see the length of the saddle. It should not go past the 18th vertebrae on the horse.
