• littlebit Posted : 4/25/2010 5:38:54 AM If a man uses a 16 inch western saddle, what size English saddle should he get?  I was asked this question, and since I have rode western all my life, I couldn't answer him.  LIKE 2 REPLIES 1135 VIEWS LAST POST LITTLEBIT Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• 3equines Posted : 4/25/2010 1:18:49 PM 16" Western = 18" English or Aussie Just add 2 inches to a Western saddle seat measurement and you have the ENglish equivalent. The reason for the difference is that English saddles are measured from the front of the pommel to the back of the cantle.  Western saddles are measured from behind the pommel/horn to the cantle.  So, a 17" English = 15" Western 19" English = 17" Western LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
