How To measure the seat size on an english saddle

Measure your saddle from the front "nail head" on the pommel, to the very (center of the) back of the seat to get the proper seat measurement, as shown at left. If you normally ride in a 15" Western saddle, then you should ride in an English seat two inches larger, usually a 17" seat.
