How to measure your seat
For the best fit, sit on a flat surface, place your hands on your thighs, and measure from the base of your seat to the back of your knee. Using the correct PADDLE® size ensures that you remain centered. This balance is critical to ensure weight is distributed evenly across the horse's back, avoiding pressure on the cantle and maintaining comfort during every ride.
"After putting the PADDLE® to the test in daily work, riding, and seat training, I am convinced of its versatility. It’s a remarkable balance between a saddle and a pad."
