Things You'll Need
- Cloth measuring tape
- Saddle stand or sawhorse
- Saddle to be measured
Instructions
Place the saddle on the stand or sawhorse so the pommel (front of the seat) and the cantle (back of the seat) are level.
If you are measuring an English saddle, place one end of the measuring tape on either of the rivets on the pommel. If you are measuring a Western saddle, place one end of the tape at the base of the horn.
Run the measuring tape across the seat to the center of the cantle.
