English Saddle for an 11 year old

Question

I am looking for an english saddle for a 11 year old boy. He is relatively slim and about average height. What size would everyone recommend. I know you should sit in the saddle before buying it, but i would like to get one on line so i have a bigger selection. Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm guessing your just looking for an All Purpose saddle.

Saddles sized by the how tall the rider is. You can find size charts on line. Most children's saddles are around 14" or 15". You might want to get him a saddle that is half a size to one size bigger so he can go into it and keep it a little longer, before he gets too big.

If you want to shop on line just call the tack store you find and give them the person's height and they might also ask for thigh size.

More important, make sure you have measurements for the horse as well, so they can find you a perfect match.
