Tack fitting help?

[OrionDuca]

Hi, i have a youngster that i'm about to back, i'm going to get a saddle fitter out obviously, but i want to know roughly what size saddle he'll need.
Is there any way i can measure him so i have an idea?

Thanks everyone!

How long's a piece of string, let the saddler or saddle fitter sort it out, that's what you pay us for

I have just gone through this myself. I luckily got the fitter out before buying any sort of saddle. The fitter was very clear about size and make of saddle as my Moses is VERY wide (xxxL) and short and croup high. We went through his whole stock before we found one close to fitting him, that then allowed me to know what to look for and the size. I went for a throwogood adjustable gullet and boy am I glad I did! I would have the fitter before buying just in case, just make it clear you want advice about type of saddle and size.I knew that Colin would not try and sell me anything just help me choose and I bought off ebay for a really good price. I hope yours is a more standard size
