How to measure my daughter for an english saddle?


I'm not sure what size to get her, she's rather tall now, but has no butt. I didn't ride much english myself and I used an 18. But that will be huge for her. So how do I measure her?

I went to a tack place for my measuements. There really is not a real way to masure though. Basically, you have to sit on a saddle, and if it looks like it fits, and if there's room behind the butt (about a hands width or so) it should be fine. Don't worry if it seems a LITTLE big, your daughter will grow into it. too big, she'll move around alot which is never good, and messes up with equitation. Just make sure she is comfortable, and secure in it. Too small and she'll be pinched. I highly suggest bringing home the saddle she likes for a trial so you can fit it on your horse or poiny. A bad fitting saddle on the horse or pony can lead to back problems, and loss of riding or show time. Good Luck,
Jer

  1. I used to have an old Hartley close-contact that I picked up at a used-tack store for a hundred bucks. The next thing to bareback. I loved it! The AP that I have now is my old friend of more than ten years …. I got it when I was sixteen. I still fit it… I think… but it wasn’t 15″ either. I think it’s a 16.5 or a 17. It’s definitely less saddle than a Stubben, which is like, “Hello? Is there a horse down there?” Stubbens are the La-Z-Boys of English saddles! Although ironically, my old, Swiss Stubben was a “close-contact dressage.” It had none of that German, “You sit here, where I tell you!” styling that is currently en vogue.
