The length of the femur (thigh bone) of the rider also determines the LENGTH of the tree of the saddle (pommel - cantle length). If this is too short, a rider will be positioned too far back - too long and there will be too much seat for the rider to fill.
Saddle lengths between English and Western saddles can differ by 2 inches.
