Stubben saddle sizes -HELP!!!

[prettypony95]

Hi all, I have a Stubben Genesis De Lux jump saddle which is stamped as 31....does this translate to Medium Wide or Wide???? I'm finding the stubben sizes a little confusing :S

Thanks

28 is narrow, 29/30 are m, mw 31 is wide as far as i know. even a wide stubben isnt very wide !!!

The points are long so that measurement is taken at a relatively "wider" point on the tree compared to a saddle with shorter points, if that makes sense So yes, they do come up narrow. I do think some models vary so proceed with caution!

My tb is in 28 she is very petite but her barnsby is medium.Dont think wide fittings are very generous but 31 is wide fitting.

a 31 is a med /wide. 32 wide and they also do an XW which equates to a 34. the important thing to look at when fitting stubbens is the angle of the tree point against the horses back - do not get bogged down by how many fingers you can fit under the pommel as stubbens have a narrow twist and often sit high on a flat withered horse which can be misleading. obviously there is alot more to consider though than just the tree points. prettypony95 i,m a stubben trained fitter and if you need any help than pm me with a contact number and i would be happy to oblige :0)
