High Horse Little River Trail Saddle 6863
The Little River Trail Saddle from High Horse doesn't have a little seat at all, but rather a double-padded one! Extra comfy and supportive with a 5" cantle. This saddle features a short, round and felt-lined skirt which is great for short-backed horses. Throw in the light weight of this saddle and you can't overlook this deal!

Are you fitting for a Tucker Saddle?
Calculated Seat Size:

Things to Consider
- Tucker adds 1/2inch to their seat sizes (due to thick seat padding)
16.5 Tucker = 16 normally
- Barrel riders usually take 1 less on the seat size
16 Trail Rider = 15 Barrel Rider
- Ranch (slick seats) usually ride smaller (1/2inch seat size) so they dont slide around
16 is for most men, 15 for most women
- Trail Saddles with High Cantles (5) make the seat sizes feel smaller
Trail Saddle with 5 cantle will feel smaller in the seat than one with a 3.5 cantle
- English Saddles dont convert exactly but often are 2 bigger
18 English = 16 Western
- Riders with inseams under 30 or 5 tall and under often need custom cut fenders
Tall riders with long legs but lighter weight may need custom cut fenders as well

Checking the Fit
- General Guideline is about 3 fingers between your thigh and the swell.
