Size Guide
The chart shows the main measurements of the Arena High Wither Dressage for each seat size. Use it to compare with the saddle you ride in now.
For you
- Seat size depends on your build, the length of your thigh and the riding you do, so compare with a saddle you already find comfortable.
- If you are between sizes, try both if you can, or ask your saddle fitter or retailer.
For your horse
- Fit is about comfort, balance and how your horse moves, not one number on a chart, so we would always start with a qualified saddle fitter you trust.
- The width can be changed with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System, so you or your saddle fitter can adjust it as your horse changes shape.
Measurements are a guide only. They are rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm and then converted to inches, and the organic shape of saddlery means small differences between pieces are normal.

What gullet does the Arena High Wither Dressage come with?
A Medium Narrow (green) gullet. The Complete Kit does not include a Medium (black) gullet, so if your horse needs one later, it is available as an individual gullet.How do I know if my horse needs a high wither saddle?
If your horse has a prominent or high wither, it may suit. A qualified saddle fitter can check wither clearance and gullet width on your horse before you decide.Can the CAIR cushions be adjusted?
No. The CAIR cushions are never adjusted themselves. Panel depth and balance are changed with the EASY-CHANGE Riser System, which sits in a separate pocket, and opening the CAIR security tape voids the warranty. -
