*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.

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.
