Things You'll Need
- Saddle stand

Instructions
Place the treeless saddle on a sturdy saddle stand. It is easier to measure the saddle when it is sitting on a firm surface.
Locate the point where the pommel, or front of the saddle, and cantle, or back of the saddle, are closest together. This is typically the place where your thigh would rest if you were mounted.
Measure the distance between the pommel and the cantle at the closest point. Add 6 inches to the measurement to get the seat size of the saddle. For instance, if the distance between the pommel and the cantle is 9 inches at the closest point, the seat needs to be 15 inches.
