How to Use This Calculator

Enter Wither Height (hands), Back Length (in), and Shoulder Angle (deg).
Input Gullet Width (in) measured with a gullet gauge at the withers.
Enter Rider Weight (lbs) to confirm combined rider+saddle weight is under 20% of horse weight.
Review Seat Size (in) for the rider and Gullet Width Category (Narrow, Medium, Wide, X-Wide).
Use Tree Category and Seat Size to narrow saddle options before a trial fitting.

How the result changes with Rider weight (lb)

Seat size (in): Recommended saddle seat size.
Tree (1=N, 2=M, 3=W, 4=XW): 1=Narrow, 2=Medium, 3=Wide, 4=Extra-Wide.
Max panel length (in): Saddle panel should not exceed this length.
Bridle (0=Pony, 1=Full, 2=OS): 0=Pony, 1=Full, 2=Oversize bridle.
Bit size (in): Approximate bit mouthpiece width.
Max rider weight (lb): Recommended max rider weight (20% of horse body weight).
