Meet the DP Saddlery Quantum Short & Light Western Trail Saddle 6524 built for riders who expect precision fit, premium feel, and real-world performance on every mile. The UF/VSK tree design and fully adjustable system give you the freedom to dial in balance and connection across multiple horses, while the S1-WD engineering keeps you secure and centered on steep grades and long hauls. At just 21 lbs with a compact 21.5" profile, this saddle delivers that signature DP blend of lightweight agility and rugged trail readiness.
This build showcases DPs artistry and attention to detail: Havanna Antique leather paired with a Tobacco Aspen seat, Brown Nappa panels, stainless hardware, footman loops, and black latigo strings all finished with Border Cross tooling on the fenders and 7/8 corner floral work. Rawhide stirrups, braided rawhide horn with silver concho, medium 68cm fenders, an 8cm channel, medium flocking, and the DP silver maker plate complete a saddle made to turn heads at the trailhead and perform under pressure. For the rider who wants refined craftsmanship without giving up mountain-trail toughness this Quantum delivers.

Western Saddle Seat Size Calculator
*NOTE FOR CHILDREN OR YOUTH SIZES SMALLER THAN 14"
When measuring for a child's Western saddle, have them sit down in a chair. Once seated, use a measuring tape to measure the length of their upper leg from the knee to their rear. The saddle should be about 10% longer than the child's upper leg. For example: If the child's leg measures 9 inches, then the child's Western saddle should be 10 inches.
There is a lot of room for personal preference with seat sizing, but as a general rule it is better to error on the side of ordering a seat size that is too large rather than erring on the side of a seat that will be too small.

There is a lot of room for personal preference with seat sizing, but as a general rule it is better to error on the side of ordering a seat size that is too large rather than erring on the side of a seat that will be too small.
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.

Worked with Josh on multiple occasions. Fast response, thorough on answers, hassle free. This place was great! Came back to buy a second saddle from them as well. This will be my first place to look when I need something and even for my next saddle.

After so much searching and being nervous about ordering a saddle online. I picked up the phone and called the Horse Saddle Shop to ask a few questions about a used saddle that was on their website. They were so nice and helpful. I ordered my very lightly used Circle Y saddle and a new saddle pad. It arrived very quickly. Only a few days. I LOVE my new saddle. In great condition and rides great! I would highly recommend using them for your tack needs. I know I will be in the future!
