Instructions
Measuring the English Treeless Saddle
Place the saddle on a sturdy stand. It is easier to get an accurate measurement if the saddle is sitting on a stable surface.
Locate the round silver button at the front of the saddle. The saddle has two of these buttons, one on each side. You can use either one to start the measurement.
Place the tape measure on the button, then extend the tape to the back of the seat. The reading on the tape is the size of the saddle seat.
Measuring the Western Treeless Saddle
Place the saddle on a saddle stand or saddle rack. It is easier to get an accurate measurement from a solid surface.
Place the tape measure at the back of the saddle horn.
Extend the tape measure to the back of the seat. The reading on the tape is the size of the Western saddle seat.
