Seat Size Chart

The following size chart is a general guideline, and adjustments may be needed based on individual preferences and specific riding disciplines. It's recommended to try saddles in person to identify a comfortable seat size:

Rider Height	Rider Weight	English Seat Size	Western Seat Size
4'10" - 5'1"	Up to 100 lbs	15 - 15.5 inches	13 - 14 inches
5'2" - 5'5"	100-130 lbs	16 - 16.5 inches	14 - 15 inches
5'6" - 5'9"	130-160 lbs	17 - 17.5 inches	15 - 16 inches
5'10" - 6'1"	160-190 lbs	18 inches and above	16 - 17 inches
6'2" and up	190 lbs and up	Consider individual fit	17 inches and above

 

• English saddle seat sizes generally range from 15 to 18 inches.
• Western saddle seat sizes generally range from 13 to 18 inches.
• Saddles with flat seats or low cantle heights will feel bigger. Saddles with deep seats or high cantle heights will feel smaller.
• Rider height and weight are important considerations, but personal comfort is key. If you are very tall and thin, you may want to go up in size for leg comfort.
• If you are considering a Tucker saddle, it is recommended to go up in size rather than down.
• Consult with a saddle fitter or experienced rider for additional insights.
