WHAT YOU WILL NEED

If you are looking to find your saddle seat size, follow these simple instructions.

You will need a TAPE MEASURE in INCHES (as traditionally saddles are measured in INCHES, not CENTIMETERS), and your saddle on a secure stand.  If you do not have access to a tape showing inches, please use this CM to INCHES converter. CLICK HERE

Take your tape and run it from the back edge of the pommel (where the horn/fork attaches to the seat) to the back of your seat.
The measurement is taken from the INSIDE of the seat, not the outside edge.
For example, the one shown is a 16″ saddle.

Take your tape and run it from the nail head located at the front of the saddle (there is one left and right and It does not matter which you choose), to the back edge of the cantle/seat edge. Aim your tape towards the CENTRE.   We then take the measurement INSIDE the seat.
For example, the one shown is a 17″ saddle.
