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.

Calculated Seat Size:

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 don�t 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 don�t 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
