dressage saddle flap length!

[nfpony]

I'm looking at dressage saddles, and am wondering if at 5'7, 32 inch inside leg i'll fit around a 17 inch FLAP LENGTH? (not seat size) Bit of a tricky question to answer as everyone is proportioned differently, but would like to know roughly what taller riders ride in!

tyia!

Hi, my dressage saddle has a 17" (maybe more) flap length, I still have plenty of contact with my horse, well, I would, if I chose to have any contact at all.

I am 5'1", no idea what my inside leg is, but bound to be less than yours at your height.

If flap length is measured how we do it, from the top edge of the stirrup bar, then 17-17.5" would sound about right I think, hard to say as will depend on block placement and how long you ride as a result.
