Tree Saddle

How to you measure the tree of a saddle?

(Not the seat size, I mean if it has a narrow, medium or wide tree) Or if you can tell me websites where I can get the information

A narrow tree is generally made for gaited horses, and might have a narrow gullet measurement - 6 1/2" or less.
A medium tree is usually described as having quarter horse bars - qhb.
A wide tree will have a wide gullet - 7" or so - and be called full quarter horse bars, or fqhb.

If you have a saddle you are wondering about, you might try calling the manufacturer and ask them what saddle you have. Are there serial numbers on a plate, or other numbers that you see, that will help you/them in deciding what saddle you have? (I called the maker of a saddle that was made 5 years ago - they still had the info)

Not trying to hype a particular(commercial) site, but this one has some good info:

Good luck, and hope this helps!
