Questions & answers

What is the gullet width?

Answered by The Connected RiderThe Stratford has a 7½” gullet on Full Quarter Horse bars, which suits most average to wide-backed horses. Compare it with a saddle that fits your horse now: with a rider up, you want two to three fingers between the withers and the gullet, and the saddle shouldn’t rock or bridge.

What seat size do I need?

Answered by The Connected RiderSit in a chair and measure from the back of your knee to the front of your buttocks. Under 18 1/2″ is a 13″ seat, 18 1/2″ to 20″ a 14″, 20″ to 21 1/2″ a 15″, 21 1/2″ to 23 1/2″ a 16″, and over 23 1/2″ a 17″. See the size guide below.

Will it fit my horse?

Answered by The Connected RiderCheck the gullet measurement. With a rider in the saddle you should fit two to three fingers between the withers and the gullet, and the saddle should not rock or bridge.

How to choose a Western saddle size

Seat size (1) fits the rider. Sit in a chair with your back against the backrest and your feet flat, then measure from the back of your knee to the front of your buttocks.

Thigh measurement	Seat size
Under 18 1/2"	13"
18 1/2" to 20"	14"
20" to 21 1/2"	15"
21 1/2" to 23 1/2"	16"
Over 23 1/2"	17"

Gullet and swell (5–7) fit the horse. A 6 1/2" to 7" gullet fits many average-width horses. Wide or flat-backed horses usually need 7 1/2" or wider, and narrow, high-withered horses need less. You should be able to fit two to three fingers between the withers and the gullet with a rider in the saddle.
Horn (2) and cantle (3): a taller cantle holds you deeper in the seat. A shorter horn and low cantle make it easier to move, which is why barrel and speed saddles often have them.
Skirt (4): round and short skirts suit short-backed horses and barrel saddles. Square skirts spread weight over a longer area for trail and ranch work.
Measurements vary by seat size. The measurements on each product page are for the size listed by the manufacturer.
