Thorowgood saddles

[missyme10]

Hello,

I am really hoping someone out there knows about these saddles and/or has one they can measure.

First I currently have one, love it and I am wanting another.
There problem I have is I dont have a label in mine so I dont know what size I have, or how they measure them.

I think mine is 17", it measures this from pommel to cantel, someone has told me you dont measure saddles like this, that you measure diagonally, and if I do that it comes up 19 inches or so, which I just dont believe, it was fitted by a pro to a 14.2hh I believe.

Another measurement is 9.5 inches from D ring to D ring, now the pony I have measures wide on the thorowgood scale using a flexi curve and this saddle is spot on, this is what makes me believe it is a wide fitting.

Bottom line is I want an identical saddle, can someone help me with what I currently have? Anyone have a 17" wide that could confirm the measurements?

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks

You measure from the stud on the pommel, diagonally across to the middle of the cantle. This gives seat size.

I have seen Thorowgoods of this width advertised as anything from med/wide to ex wide, but my Thorowgood of this width was marked as a wide on the tag under the saddleflap.

Best thing is to ask sellers for a picture of the saddle with a tape measure across the d rings, if you know a certain width fits your horse then the measurement will confirm it, at least if you are buying the same make as before
