Answer 2

In an English saddle, the width of the saddle can be narrow, medium/regular, or wide. Each of these describes the angle between the points. There is a metal "gullet plate" on the tree, at the pommel of the saddle. The size of this gullet plate determines the angle between the points.

A narrow saddle has an 86 degree angle.

A medium or regular saddle has a 90 degree angle--a "right angle," like the corner of a square.

A wide saddle has a 94 degree angle.
