Instructions
Place the Aussie saddle on a sturdy saddle stand. It is important to have a sturdy surface to work with.
Take the tape measure and place the end on the front of the saddle horn. A soft measuring tape like the ones used by tailors will work best.
Run the measuring tape to the back of the saddle seat. Take note of the measurement--this is the size of your Australian saddle.
How to Measure an Aussie Saddle
No matter what breed of horse you own, an Aussie saddle can be a good choice. Australian saddles combine the security and comfort of a Western saddle with the lightweight and mobility of an English saddle, giving riders the best of both worlds. Australian saddles are particularly popular for endurance and long-distance trail riding, but they are good for general purpose riding as well. But no matter how you use your Aussie saddle, it is important to get the right size.
