Tack Tip Tuesday - Measuring a Western Saddle Seat
We’ve got more saddles rolling in, including this fantastic Bob's Reiner!
When measuring a western saddle seat, start at the center of the pommel/swell and measure straight back to the top of the cantle.
Keep in mind—seat style affects fit! A hard seat will measure differently than a padded one. This saddle features double padding, which reduces the seat size by ½ inch. Measuring to the padded ridge gives us a 16” finished seat size, while the tree itself is built for a 16.5” seat.

Absolutely beautiful halter and the ordering was simple, I picked up as I live near by, it was quick and seamless. Evolution is the best tack store.

Very timely! Just happened to stop by the store and there was this rainsheet the perfect size for my horse. The next day it rained. He looked so smart in his green! Great price too.
