A horse is technically measured from the ground to the highest point on it's withers (the small hump like bit on the back just at the bottom of the neck)

If being measured officially the horse has to be taken to a special measuring block and needs to be stood square and relaxed.

The UK association for doing this is the Joint measurement board (JMB)

What is the proper method for determining the correct saddle size for a horse, and how can I accurately measure for saddle size?

To determine the correct saddle size for a horse, you should measure the horse's back length and width. The saddle should fit comfortably without pinching or rubbing. To measure, place a flexible measuring tape from the front of the withers to the last rib. Then, measure the width of the horse's back at the widest point. Use these measurements to find a saddle that fits properly.
