Measuring a Sport Saddle Seat for Size

The proper way to measure the seat size of a Sports Saddle is to measure between the cantle and the pommel at the nearest points and add 6 inches. Don't include the trim rolls in your measurement.

So, if you measure 9½” between the two nearest points, not including the pommel and cantle trim rolls, add 6 inches, resulting in a 15 ½” seat. Easy once you know the formulae. Take a close look at the white line between the cantle and pommel in the photo below.

IF YOU ARE TRYING SOMEONE ELSE'S SPORT SADDLE PLEASE READ BELOW!

If you have a SS or are currently trying someone else's then do yourself a BIG favor and measure that saddle for its actual size. Do not go by what the owner says it is. This will be very helpful because if that saddle is a pretty good fit for you and you want to order one the same or similar size then you must know exaclty what size the saddle is that you are trying.
