• Size 0 saddles (Shasta only) are comparable to a 14" western saddle and a 15" english saddle. (Fits women's pant size 0/2 and children.)
• Size 1 saddles are comparable to a 15"-15.5" western saddle and a 16.5"-17.5" english saddle. (Fits women's pant size 8 and under, men's pant size 30" and under.)
• Size 2 saddles are comparable to a 16" and larger western saddle, and a 18"-18.5" english saddle. (Fits women's pant size 10 and up, men's pant size 32" and up.) If you are most comfortable in a 16" western saddle, we recommend the size 2.

NOTE: For riders over 180 pounds, we recommend that Grandeur Vario Saddle pad, which provides an extra layer of shock absorption to protect your horse's spine.
• NOTE: Sizing recommendations are only suggestions, and depend also on your riding style and other measurements. Please discuss saddle sizing when placing your order.
• Important Safety Note: All Black Forest saddles are constructed with a closed-d-ring stirrup attachment. We recommend the use of safety stirrups to avoid the risk of injury during a fall.
