*NOTE FOR CHILDREN OR YOUTH SIZES SMALLER THAN 14" When measuring for a child's Western saddle, have them sit down in a chair. Once seated, use a measuring tape to measure the length of their upper leg from the knee to their rear. The saddle should be about 10% longer than the child's upper leg. For example: If the child's leg measures 9 inches, then the child's Western saddle should be 10 inches.

There is a lot of room for personal preference with seat sizing, but as a general rule it is better to error on the side of ordering a seat size that is too large rather than erring on the side of a seat that will be too small.

Things to Consider

• Tucker adds 1/2inch to their seat sizes (due to thick seat padding)
  16.5� Tucker = 16� normally
  
  
• Barrel riders usually take 1� less on the seat size
  16� Trail Rider = 15� Barrel Rider
  
  
• Ranch (slick seats) usually ride smaller (1/2inch seat size) so they don�t slide around
  16� is for most men, 15� for most women
  
  
• Trail Saddles with High Cantles (5�) make the seat sizes feel smaller
  Trail Saddle with 5� cantle will feel smaller in the seat than one with a 3.5� cantle
  
  
• English Saddles don�t convert exactly but often are 2� bigger
  18� English = 16� Western
  
  
• Riders with inseams under 30� or 5� tall and under often need custom cut fenders
  Tall riders with long legs but lighter weight may need custom cut fenders as well
  
  

Checking the Fit

• General Guideline is about 3 fingers between your thigh and the swell.
