Long boots: measure the calf at its widest point and choose a height that sits just below the knee.

Seat size is a start, not a fit. Rider height and weight, horse shape and the saddle's panels all matter.

|---|---|---|---|
| 16.5in | Under 5ft 4in | Under 9 stone | Juniors and smaller riders |
| 17in | 5ft 2in to 5ft 8in | 9 to 11 stone | General purpose |
| 17.5in | 5ft 6in and over | 11 to 14 stone | Larger riders |
