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) 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.
