What Is the diffrence between saddle seat sizes?

by Admin on May 1, 2010

What is the diffrence between the dressage seat and close contact seat size? I had a 17.5-18" seat that was okay for me so IS the wintec seat bigger then most dressage because I am buying a saddle and need to know so I know what size to get
should i get 17"0r17.5?
I am needing to know what size I need in a close contact saddle not dressage. My old dressage saddlee that I sold to buy a Jump saddle was a 18",.
I am needing a seat size for a close contact. What seat size would I need to get?

The seat to dressage saddles usually need to be a little bigger to allow maximum contact to the horse’s back.

So if you have a 17.5" in close contact, you need an 18" in dressage and vice versa.

Hope this Helped!

Dressage saddles you want about 1/2" bigger. So if you ride in a 17.5" for CC you would want an 18" for dressage.
