How Do I Know What Seat Size I Need for an English Saddle?
Using the correct seat size in your English saddle will greatly enhance any horseback riding experience. The procedure of measuring for an English saddle differs slightly from that of a Western saddle. Many riders inadvertently order a seat size that is smaller than necessary. For example, a rider requiring a 15-inch Western saddle would require a 17-inch English saddle. An English saddle should provide the rider close contact with the horse and a secure seat.
