- With you in the saddle, you should fit 2–3 fingers between the pommel and the withers.

Questions, answered
What is an all purpose saddle?
An all purpose saddle has a moderately forward flap, so it works for flatwork, trail riding and small jumps. It's a great first saddle.
What seat size do I need?
Most adults ride in a 16" to 17-1/2" English seat. Sit with your knee bent, measure from the back of the knee to the back of your seat, and check the chart in our fit guide.
What is an adjustable gullet?
Adjustable gullet saddles come with five color-coded gullet bars from narrow to wide. Swap the bar to change the tree width, so one saddle can fit different horses.
Leather or synthetic?
Leather is traditional and molds to you over time. Synthetic is lighter, usually costs less and cleans up with a damp cloth.
Can I return it?
Yes. Regularly priced items can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of purchase if they are new and unused, with original tags and packaging (domestic orders, $30 minimum). Sale and discounted items are final sale. See our Shipping & Returns page for details.
